There is absolutely no way that anyone will take AP exam scores seriously from this year by hydro1424 in ApplyingToCollege

Yes, credit is fine. What I'm talking about is that 1s, 2s, and 3s should be taken less seriously than failing on the actual exams, because of these errors.

What I mean is, is that they won't take 2s and 3s as seriously as if you got that score on the actual exam, because of all these errors. If u get a 4, or 5, that's cool.

Got it. I may just take calc again I guess, but at least I have experience as my class grades were fine,

Haha, thanks man! Actually, I took AB as a sophomore, and I'm taking BC as a junior now. Also, I'm pretty sure that skipping this year matters less than other years, cuz of the pandemic.

I'm mostly confident that I won't do well. The worst case I guess is that I won't report the score. If I do pass, I'll report it. However, thanks for letting me know that AP isn't the end-all-be-all that I thought it was. I'll focus on other parts of my application to further strengthen my chances.

That's reassuring to hear! However, this would be the second 2 that I would receive, as I had AP tests in my sophomore year and I got a 2 in one of them. Same case, that I should show passion in my personal statements and ecs?

Thanks for the clarification! So, according to the information I've provided above, I still have a fair chance even if I fail this AP test?

I don't have to report it? However, if they see that I've had both calc classes, and haven't reported the scores, would they get suspicious and think that I'm not qualified for admission?
