I think we have some classes here in which students can receive articulated college credit, but it seems like it's just a guessing game which ones will be more rigorous courses and/or accepted by anything besides the local CC's and state uni.
You may wish to check the website of the colleges/universities your child plans to apply to. A search for admissions and for transfer credit may help you locate a list of credits which may be granted. As this information may change over time, you may wish to check these each semester and print the current information, comparing for changes from past lists.
For example, the current information from the
MIT website states, in part:
MIT grants credit for a score of 5 on some College Board Advanced Placement (AP) exams (or 4 on the Calculus BC exam). It does not grant credit for secondary school courses teaching AP curricula, or partial credit for lower scores. If you take an AP exam more than once, only your higher score will be counted.
Details of current policy on credit for various AP exams appear on the Class of 2018 website. These policies are reviewed for each entering class and may change by the time you apply to MIT.
