At least at the UW, remedial courses were not available for credit (for example, at least back then, calculus was the lowest math course you could take for credit). Some were offered but only to get you up to requirements.
AP tests resulted in college credit from the University of Washington so to some degree they were valuing them above the remedial courses. Of course, I found the English department to be irredeemably horrible so I that still isn't setting the bar high
But then of course I am going to run into problems with any faculty that seemed to worship Foucoult. And then there was that time my TA spent an hour talking about feminist physics and chemistry. That's all irrelevant to AP tests, though. I just can't think about the UW English Department without getting riled all over again.
