<p>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do APs affect your admission chances or is it simply used for exemption from classes?</p>
<p>i mean they dont DIRECTLY affect it but yeah first of all an ap class versus an honors class has a difference in rigor (AP being the more rigorous) so that gets you like brownie points with admissions offices. also your AP scores boost your app if you get high scores</p>
<p>I meant how well you do on the AP tests, sorry. I take it from your last sentence that if you do well then it does affect your admission chances?</p>
<p>No, they aren’t that important since they are self-reported. However, if you get an A in an AP class at your school and then get a 1 on the test, that may raise some red flags about the quality of APs at your school. But generally, they aren’t a big deal. They certainly won’t make the difference between getting into a school and not.</p>
