    Hello! I take advanced placement classes and I just recently took the advanced placement exams for Biology and Language and Compostion. If I make qualifying scores will I be required to take those classes at Duke, if I am accepted. Thank you for your time.

      Dear Deja: Students who score a 4 or a 5 on an AP exam can use those scores for placement and sometimes for credit at Duke. Obviously, we would not have a student take Intro to Psychology if they had already proven they had understood the material.
