    Questions students ask

    What AP® score do I need for credit at Salem State 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.

    What if my score is too low?

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

    Is AP® credit guaranteed?

    No. Salem State University sets its own policy and can change it. We copied this from Salem State University's AP® credit policy (salemstate.edu) on 28 Oct 2026; check the official page before you count on the credit.

    Are these official AP® study guides?

    No. AP® is a trademark registered by the College Board, which is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, these guides. TransferCredit.org is independent.
