<p>Hey, this is my first post!! :D
So I took honors physics in 10th grade, grades were relatively low (A minuses) compared to other classes. But I took the AP Physics B exam junior year and scored a 5, <em>without having taken the corresponding AP class</em>. Any idea which statistic carries more weight for admissions? (I'm applying to fairly selective colleges)
Thanks!!</p>
<p>A minuses aren’t bad.</p>
<p>Your transcript’s weight might depend on the rigor and reputation of your school. Generally, AP scores are not taken as strongly as the SAT or subject tests.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks! I guess that makes sense since the AP standards are set pretty low. I definitely bombed the exam lol.</p>
