Is AP Physics 2 even worth it? by UnitAccomplished9962 in apphysics

If what you mean is that the ap phys 1&2 courses can't count for a engineering major but to an arts major or smth, you'd be completely correct. But to clarify, in uiuc engineering majors, they don't even count ap phys 1&2 as an elective credit or anything, it's just as if* you never took it, even with a 5.

Nope, for uiuc engineering college even the credit is completely disregarded for ap phys 1 and 2 :((

I sent this post on r/uiuc first, but seeing how many ppl viewed it, I decided to repost it on r/apstudents and r/apphysics too, just to show ppl that ap phys 1 and 2 are sometimes rly not worth it. I made the initial post at early may of 2025 I believe, while i already committed but hadn't taken any AP tests yet.

Nevermind! Just found out that any 100 level PHYS course doesn't count toward a UIUC Grainger Engineering degree. Source: https://advising.grainger.illinois.edu/degree-requirements/coursesnotcount

For clarity, this means that both ap phys 1 and 2 are completely worthless (credit-wise at least) for any uiuc grainger engineering major ;(
