I'm going to Haverford College this fall and like most/all colleges, they require you to take a placement test. If, for instance, I do well on a placement test and instead of being in Math 101, I am in Math 201. Will they give me the credit for 101? I know not everyone goes there but I am interested in how that works for the school you attend/attended as well.

Unfortunately you only receive credit for the classes you take. If you're able to place out of certain classes you'll receive the recognition of being able to jump into a higher level class (which is great, by the way!), but you won't receive the actual credit hours unless you take (and pass) the class you are placed into.
It sure would be nice if it did work the other way around though! :)

Defiinitely not. You didn't take the course, so you don't get the credit. Colleges don't give credit for what you know, but for the courses you take.

Nope, you only get credit for the classes you have actually taken.
