<p>I heard that colleges don't look at AP scores. Is it true that GPA is all it matters? If someone had worked so hard in an AP class and got a low grade, would colleges totally ignore the AP score even if the person gets a 5? If someone has an easy teacher and gets a high A in an AP class, would college ignore the fact if the person gets a 1 on the exam?(For instance, I take AP computer science A online. I have a 96 in the class. I don't feel prepared for the exam at all. The teacher taught nothing useful, and I am expecting 2-3)</p>
<p>I honestly wonder the same thing. I’ve have gotten B’s in 5 AP classes but I’ve gotten 5 on each of the exams. Compared to some other people in my class who have gotten all A’s but 3’s on each exam, and may be a 4. What looks better to colleges?</p>
<p>I’d imagine so. When comparing students from different schools, the grade they may have received in a class is totally subjective. But everyone takes the same AP exam. But I heard from many that your AP score doesn’t hold much weight in admissions.</p>
<p>Most students take most of their AP tests (or at least the “good” ones) as seniors after the university admissions decisions are done.</p>
<p>Whether the AP tests are accepted for credit and placement depends on each university.</p>
