Hi everyone,
AP scores are out and I received a 3 on the calculus BC exam with a 3 as the subscore. I received a 4 on the calculus AB exam last year. Had a major stomach ache during the test and kind of bombed the free response section. I was not expecting to get a score as low as this. I took the AB test in sophomore year and the BC test as a junior. I did poorly on the physics test (Mechanics C) the day before and got a 2 (I’m cancelling). I am a Californian that is planning on applying to UC schools such as Berkeley and LA. Should I retake the Calculus BC test next year? Will the poor score of the two tests affect my application chances (I got As in both semesters). Thank you guys for your time.
UC’s do not consider your AP scores on their admission decisions. You can self-report some, all or none of your scores on the application. You will send your AP score report only to the school you end up attending and based on their AP policies, you will get college course credit or not.
