    Questions students ask

    What AP® score do I need for credit at Mercer University?

    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.

    How much credit can one AP® exam earn at Mercer University?

    Up to 8 credits, on Calculus BC or Chemistry or Chinese or French and others. On this list, one exam earns 3 to 8 credits.

    What if my score is too low?

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