<p>I'm entering UC Berkeley's College of Engineering as part of the class of 2013, and there are two AP tests I took in my HS senior year that I'm pretty sure I did pretty badly on (probably got a 1 or a 2 on AP Physics B, got a 2 or 3 on BC Calculus). A funny thing is that my physics teacher was extremely unreasonable, and refused to let me study for the physics C test in her class even though I'd only get credit for Physics C at Berkeley's CoE, so, I just didn't care at all about the Physics B test. I got an A in her actual class just by studying chapter by chapter, but I didn't review or study at all for the AP test because I simply did not care - I essentially took the AP test so she wouldn't throw a ridiculously difficult final at me meant to spite me.</p>
<p>Excuses aside, I simply want to know if there's any point in canceling/withholding my scores (I don't even think I can anymore since the June 15 deadline has passed, so now I guess I want to know if it would have benefitted me in any way if I had canceled them). I heard some odd stories about people getting rescinded because they got an A in an AP Class yet a 1 or 2 on the AP test, which I find to be a little far fetched. I asked a counselor at the student orientation I recently went to, and the counselor said that she's never heard of someone getting rescinded due to AP scores.</p>
<p>Still, I'd like a few voices here since I'm still a little unsure.</p>
<p>No, I’ve never heard of admissions getting rescinded due to ap scores. I think colleges understand that seniors won’t concentrate on exams that they won’t get credit for, so they don’t hold it against you.</p>
<p>I don’t think you have any to lose in your case either way, but I don’t see why you can’t just keep the scores on, even though they might be low.</p>
<p>But what I don’t get is why your teacher didn’t let you study Physics C. You mean you weren’t allowed to self-study (at home) the C portion and write the Physics C exam, or your teacher didn’t let you study it in her class? </p>
<p>Either way, I don’t think it is rediculously why the teacher wouldn’t let you study the C portion.</p>
<p>The teacher didn’t excuse me from her class’s work and give me other assignments to help complement the C course.</p>
<p>Now, you’re probably thinking that I’m expecting too much of her, but she DID let my best friend do exactly what I just described, just because he took a physics course over the previous summer (he even said he hardly learned anything in that course, but the teacher was still adamant on not letting me follow my friend’s route).</p>
<p>I understand that you should still be doing the class work, but did the teacher not let you write the exam? </p>
<p>To be honest, I missed the whole part about you friend. So you’re saying that your teacher let your friend write the exam and not you? If that’s true, then that’s rediculous. There’s no reason why the teacher shouldn’t let you write the exam. I know people who self-studied Calculus BC and Physics C simultaneously while hvaing taken only the regular Gr. 12 Calculus and Gr. 12 Physics.</p>
