College Question regarding Ap tests?

Lets say I take U.S history in College right, and I pass the course with an A.





Then, in high school, ( which i'm in), I take U.S History AP course, and on the day of the test, I flunk it, or barely pass it.





Would the Ap test make my college Us History course lower my grade from an A to something else?





( They dont transfer college to high school credits)





So, if that happens, will my A in college be lowered?

College Question regarding Ap tests?
Your AP tests do not affect any kind of grade at all, high school or college. If you get an A in US History in college, nothing can change that grade except the professor, and they don't factor in AP test scores. They'll only change it if they later realize a student cheated, or they miscalculated your grade, or something else extreme.





If you pass the AP test, you can get college credit. If you don't pass it, you just don't get the credit. It won't hurt you, except the college may use your test scores to help deteremine scholarships or something.





Also, if you pass it and get the college credit, you won't have to take the class in college. That's the point of AP tests. If you also take the class and get an A, then they'll just use your AP credit as an elective.
Reply:No. AP courses are accepted differently by different schools, but none of them will let your AP grade affect your college course grade.





Some schools accept the AP credit in lieu of courses, but that's it - they give you that grade and you move on, or you retake the course - it's not a combination. Other schools don't accept AP courses for credit, but will let you use your AP tests to place out of intro level courses if you did well enough (or even took the course).
Reply:No, the college will not lower your grade in the course. Your acceptance %26amp; placement in a specific class will be based on your AP test score. After that, your score is pretty much forgotten.
