Nope.. not unless you are enrolled in AP and take a test at the end of the year or they are college courses for graduating honors.

No. Sorry. The only way to get college credits in high school is to take AP courses. If you're good in school but not up to the AP classes, you can try taking CLEP exams once you're in college.

only AP classes count as college credits, so no, those seven extra credits probably won't count. Colleges realize that their classes are much more difficult than most high school courses.

No, not unless a certain course you're taking counts for college credit (AP, 1818, etc)

No they won't. They are still just high school classes. The only classes you would get credit towards college for while in high school are dual enrollment classes and AP/IB classes which you have passed the exams for.

The number of HS credits you have makes no difference in college. The only way to get college credit in high school is to take a college equivalent course and pass (know as AP in my state).

Depends on the type of classes you take, and the state you live in -- typically the answer would be 'no.' There are exceptions however. With very few exceptions the only high school classes you can take in the United States that can apply towards college credit are AP classes (and even then you have to take the corresponding exams in order to have the credit count towards university). Taking extra credits in regular high school English, shop, ceramics, language, or auto-shop won't translate to college credit (unless you go to a 'diploma mill' college).
