<p>would it really be that bad if i got an A in the class and a 4 on the exam. i just was too overconfident and didn't study because i thought i had all my stuff down. i obviously didn't have it ALL down since i i got a 4. i don't think it'll look too bad, but just asking won't hurt.</p>
<p>also, i've been reading that you shouldn't send 3's? what's up with that? i thought that 3's were good!</p>
<p>4 is fine, although i think many colleges are skeptical of an "A" & a "3".</p>
<p>3's are debatable whether or not to send. I suppose it depends on the quality of the rest of the scores.</p>
<p>How about the opposite, a B in the class and a 5 on the test?</p>
<p>Other than it hurting your GPA, its good.</p>

<p>Stanford has 6 spaces for different AP tests on their app. I have taken 7 tests so far, with four 5's, two 4's, and one 3. Should I withhold the 3 (which was in AP Euro)? Wouldn't it look strange if I didn't take the AP test for it?</p>
<p>Wait, Stanford only has 6 spaces?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Of the applications that have arrived for my son:</p>
<p>Boston College 5 spaces for AP exam scores
Harvard 6 spaces for AP exam scores
Dartmouth 0, it is not on their application
UVa 5 spaces for AP exam scores
Colby 0, it is not on their supplement
Georgetown 0, it is not on their application that I can see
Duke does not ask on the application but asks what number of AP classes a typical senior takes on the School Report
Williams has 6 spaces.</p>
<p>Not sure what any of this means but it appears that schools take APs into account in their admissions process.</p>
<p>i don't think the spaces matter because the colleges are going to get an official report anyway.</p>
<p>AP Bio B/B - 4
AP Lang B/B - 3
AP US B/B - 5
AP Euro A/A - 5
AP Human Geo ind study A/A - 5</p>
<p>Other than your teacher possibly being upset (I'm sure my lang & comp teacher will be at my 4 - she called me her best student), there's no harm in a 4.</p>
<p>Does it make anyone else mad when you have an A and get a 5, and others with A's in your class get 2's and 3's? I actually know someone (from a different school) who got a 1 on the AP Calc exam with an A in the class, while I had a B one semester and got a 5! Will colleges see the grade inflation at those types of schools?</p>
<p>AP Computer Science AB - [Grade: A/A] [AP Score: 1]</p>
<p>enough said.</p>
<p>From word of mouth and such, the entire class got a one. We were taught by a chemistry teacher and he really didn't give an eff. He didn't do anything to stop us from playing games and fooling around on the computers. He finally started "teaching" 1ish weeks right before the exam.</p>

<p>That's so awesome. My programming teacher was the exact opposite and I got a C even though I worked so goddam hard, so be glad with your "A".</p>

<p>Your SAT Score report does not contain your AP scores. That is why many of them have spaces on their applications to self report the AP scores. Schools will only get the report if you have the scores sent to them during the application process. Another fee to the college board unless you self report on your application and only send them to the school you are intend to attend at the end of your senior year.</p>
<p>AP US Gov 95 4 (Still confused about that...)
AP Calc BC 99 5/5
AP English Lit 98 5
AP Comp Sci AB 98 5
AP Physics C 96 5/5</p>
<p>Just to add to what Eagle79 wrote, you're not expected to send in an official score report during the admissions process. The colleges rely on your self-reported scores. The only time you send in an official report is at the end of your senior year when you have decided where to enroll so that the college can give you credit or placement for your freshman year.</p>
<p>^yeah, so don't lie!</p>
<p>Or else after four years of study, they'll take away your diploma for lying on your app =pp</p>
