    Questions students ask

    What AP® score do I need for credit at Illinois College?

    It depends on the exam: from a 3 on some exams to a 4 on others. Add your exams in the calculator above to see each one.

    Up to 4 credits, on 2-D Art and Design or 3-D Art and Design or African American Studies or Art History and others. On this list, one exam earns 2 to 4 credits.

    What if my score is too low?

    If your score is below what Illinois College asks for on that exam, you can retake the exam next May, take a CLEP® exam if Illinois College accepts it, or take a self-paced course with an ACE or NCCRS credit recommendation. Illinois College decides what counts, so ask before you enroll.
