Plan II Pre-Med Information Just FYI...
Texas Government Test Information:
If you have taken the Government AP test you still need to take and pass the TX only 20-question counterpart for full credit. You must complete the TX only test to receive full credit for GOV 310L and will not be allowed to register for GOV 312L until both tests are on their record and they have 24 hours of coursework completed. Keep in mind that this is the only test to complete the AP credit. GOV 105 from Distance Education will not provide what you need.
