What if I only score a 1 or 2 on the AP Exam?
Every year there are some who do not get the required 3 to 5 on the exam and therefore lose out on the opportunity to get that credit through the AP examination. If that should happen, do not lose hope! There is a second opportunity that comes through CLEP (College Level Examination Program). A list of offerings is included in the link below. It includes courses beyond this one and may serve as a means of earning college credit without having to take a course in which you are otherwise already proficient.
