AP and IB Credit

Students who have taken AP and/or IB exams in high school may be eligible for credit at OSU. Please see the credit that is awarded and courses for which students are permitted to enroll based on the scores they have received. We encourage students to attend the Orientation Calculus Advising session to determine calculus options and honors opportunities with a math faculty member.

• Students who receive Advanced Placement scores of Precalculus 1 or 2, AB 1 or 2, BC 1 or 2, IB HL1, IB HL2, and IB HL3 must schedule in accordance with their Math Placement Test results.  If they want an opportunity to move ahead they must take proficiency tests (find more information at orientation, or at Autumn Math Proficiency Exams).
• Students who receive Advanced Placement scores of AB 3 are strongly encouraged to enroll in Math 1151 (Calculus I) and do not need special permission from a math advisor to do so.
• Please note that no credit is awarded at OSU for the IB Standard Level Math exam, and for scores of 1-3 on the IB Higher Level Math exam. Students will be required to take the Math Placement Test before scheduling a math course.

NOTE: 

• IB taken 2021 forward will not receive Ohio State credit
