Precal GPA Boost Query

So my school didn’t offer AP Precalc last year (my school is arts focused so not many people choose to take high level maths). Despite this I took normal Precalc, but I also took the AP Exam for Precalc. Obviously I got the college credit, but did I get the GPA Boost even though it wasn’t technically an AP class?

No, AP exam scores do not have any effect on your GPA. Just because you passed an AP Exam does not mean you took a class with college difficulty or weight.

yeah the rules are strict like that, no shortcuts even if you put in the work

Nope! You didn't take an AP class so why should you get a GPA boost?
