<p>So I just found out I got a 5 on my AP Calculus AB exam. The funny thing is that I got a C my first semester of class.</p>
<p>How do you think my C will be viewed when they see that I got a 5 on my AP exam?</p>
<p>When did AP grades come out?</p>
<p>Yesterday (I think), by phone.</p>
<p>Here's the thing, many colleges don't even ask for your AP scores, so the C will be as is. Your C will be viewed the same way it might be for a different class, and will not be given any special treatment because the Calculus exam does have one of the most generous curves (AB and BC).</p>
<p>Well, now the new common application has a space to self-report AP exam scores.</p>
<p>Right, but they're not necessarily going to take the time to look at your AP exam score then your class grade and compare and think about it.</p>
<p>They will think that either your school is really hard (and glance at the school profile submitted by your guidance counselor) or that you are a slacker.</p>
<p>^ agree with above</p>
