<p>I'm worried about my AP exam scores and their possible detrimental effect on my application. I'm taking 3 AP classes, 2 of which I think should be fine (4 or 5), but I've been having considerable difficulty with AP Spanish. It's probable that I'm getting a 3 on the exam (4 if I'm lucky), which I would imagine wouldn't look too good on an application. I'm taking 5 AP classes next year. Will the AP Spanish score be a deal breaker? Should I even send in the exam? </p>
<p>I don’t think so, most colleges accept 4s on Language AP exams (including IV) just because those exams are so difficult.</p>
<p>What about 3? Will it be a deal breaker?</p>
<p>For credit or placement into more advanced language courses in college, check each college for its policy.</p>
<p>Thanks, but I’m just talking about how it will look when applying.</p>
<p>Why do you have to take the exam? My school lets you take the class but the exam is optional.</p>
<p>My school requires juniors to take the exams for their AP classes…not fun.</p>
<p>That sucks. 
Study hard, I guess… Good luck.</p>
