Bombing an AP Test

<p>So, today, I took the Computer Science AP Test, and I'm fairly certain I got a 2, maybe a 3 if I'm lucky. However, I'm not at all considering majoring in this field in college, so if colleges saw that, would they care? Also, they only see the scores you decide to send in, correct? </p>

<p>I'm sorry if this is the wrong section of the site for this, but I wasn't sure where to put it.</p>

<p>Honestly, they probably won’t care as much as Natural Sciences or Math. I got a 4 and I am ashamed to send that score anywhere…</p>

<p>If you did bad just don’t report it.</p>

<p>I just went through the application process this year and I’m fairly certain you have to send all your scores. I was never given the option to choose what to send and what not to. I wouldn’t really worry about it, 4’s and 5’s will help but 3’s won’t really hurt.</p>

<p>Sounds like you are from my school. Most of the people in my class think they failed . Do you take the class online?</p>

<p>Looks like we have a Bin Laden on our hands here.</p>

<p>^w t f?!!?!</p>

<p>oh i get it, its the “bombing”</p>

<p>Don’t stress over it until you actually receive the score in print. Almost everyone thinks they did poorly after the exam. </p>

<p>However, if you didn’t pass, it shouldn’t hurt you too much, as long as your other scores are decent enough.</p>

<p>Just cancel it if you think you did that bad. Problem solved :)</p>

<p>When you apply for colleges you don’t actually send them an official AP score report. You self-report scores via the Common App, so you can omit scores if you want. Also, if you really did get a 2, don’t send it.</p>

<p>Alright, thank you so much! :slight_smile: It was my first AP test ever, so I wasn’t really sure how it worked. </p>

<p>And kopk888, nah, I took it at my school. But the teacher got fired halfway through, and we haven’t had a real teacher since like March. Nbd…</p>

<p>I got a 2 and a 3 last year and still got scholarship money.</p>

<p>Some colleges don’t care and they understand that some teachers just don’t teach. (I was proud of my 3 in AP Music Theory… that class was bloody hard! The 2 in US History was due to the fact that our teacher literally taught NOTHING about US History the entire year.)</p>
