I have just recently received my AP scores back, and though they are not terrible, they aren’t exactly what I was hoping for despite having studied for a long period of time intensively - I think it was mostly an issue of taking too many AP classes at the same time and running thin on time to prepare thoroughly in addition to preparing for the SAT. My scores for the AP classes are all 4’s and 3’s (I have taken 4 AP classes this year - received a 4 for AP English comp, 3 for AP Physics C: Mechanics, 3 for AP Chemistry, 3 for AP Calculus AB, and also have a 4 for AP Environmental science). I also have received my SAT 2 exam results and have a 700 for Biology E and a 650 for Biology M. Though I am planning on retaking the AP Calculus AB exam next year as a senior and report my score then to receive possible credit for the class, I will not be reporting my chemistry score - instead I am planning on taking the SAT 2 exam for chemistry to hopefully receive a high score. However, this made me wonder if taking an AP class but not reporting an AP exam score could negatively affect one’s chances of getting into a choice college (mine currently being Reed college as well as UCSB and Cornell), even if there are SAT 2 scores for the same class.
Sorry for the whole thing - I know I can be a pain when it comes to test scores.
