Ahh! What Do I Do?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm not sure what to do when the time comes for filling out my application for the UCs.</p>

<p>I've taken AP U.S. History but i know i did terrible which is why i plan on taking it again next may. I dont know if I will be able to take AP english lang this thursday. Let's say i dont know ap lang. So my records will have one incredibly low ap us history exam score and thats it.</p>

<p>I dont want colleges to think i didnt follow through with the ap program because i didnt take the ap eng lang exam because i will even if its not this year.</p>

<p>I also dont want colleges to think im not that bright because of my horribly low exam score. </p>

<p>I want to know if there is any way of indicating that i plan on taking those exams the may 08 when i will apply in nov 07.</p>

<p>Also i want to self study for macro but am i going to be able to put that on my application?</p>

<p>I dont want to seem like someone who is doing things just for the colleges.
I do things that i love doing. I pretty determined and self-motivated. but this whole college stuff is pretty overwhelming its hard to not think about things they might not like.</p>

<p>So if someone can give me advice on this, will i be able to put this on my application??</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>I wouldn't be so sure that you bombed the US History test. Last year, I took it, and I was completely clueless. I didn't even know what the DBQ was asking about, and I wrote almost complete BS for one of the others. In short, I only answered one essay well, and I ended up with a 4. I was completely stunned. So, It might turn out well for you as well.</p>

<p>Try to hold up some hope for the results. Even though you (like me) think you bombed it, it might turn out better than you think.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, but I don't really have any good advice for your actual question.</p>

<p>while I haven't specifically seen the UC application, a lot of applications (definitely the common app) will also ask for tests you plan to take. and the date you plan to take it.</p>
