To get university credit! Each university has different rules for giving credit for AP courses. I recommend you do some research, keeping in mind your future plans/school choice.

For example, Waterloo gives credit for this course except for students in the Faculty of Mathematics (Math, Statistics, Computer Science). You must also achieve a score of 4 or 5 in the course (approximately 75%+).
