## How AP Credits Save Money
Each AP exam with a qualifying score (usually 3 or higher) can earn college credit, letting you skip equivalent courses.
### Formula
**Credits Earned = Exams Passed x Credits per Exam**
**Net Savings = (Credits x Cost per Credit) - (Exams x Exam Fee)**
AP credits can also shorten your time to degree by an entire semester or more, compounding the savings with room, board, and opportunity cost.

计算示例
A student passes 4 AP exams worth 3 credits each, at a school charging $500/credit. Each exam costs $98.
- Credits earned: 4 x 3 = 12
- Tuition saved: 12 x $500 = $6,000
- Exam costs: 4 x $98 = $392
- Net savings: $6,000 - $392 = $5,608
