Can low AP scores hurt?

<p>I'm considering taking an AP test in French despite my school's lack of an AP French course, but there is the distinct possibility that, due to lack of formal preparation, I will receive a poor score on the AP test. Should I bother taking the test? If I do get a poor (1-2) score on the AP French exam, could that hurt my admissions chances? (I'm looking mostly at selective LACs.)</p>

<p>no, they don't see ur scores until matriculation</p>

<p>nope, just don't record it.</p>
