  Even when I was in college 20 years ago (wow I feel old) I mainly just got units for AP credits, but otherwise all it did was allow me to skip a level in a calc class (anybody could skip by taking a test).
  It did allow me to be the laziest college student and take under the unit minimum 3 times while still graduating in 4 years. I learned the hack is to enroll in enough classes, then drop a class after they check unit minimum but before the drop deadline.
context: Get on it California and blue states.

  They should also go as far to not accept credits for these studies in states that have stripped away the content like that. >
  
  It's becoming more and more common for colleges not to accept AP credits for major-required classes anyway.
