<p>if you do this, does it still show on your ap report to the college that you took an exam in a subject, and chose not to display the score? or does it not even mention that you took that test in the first place? please help, my registration is tomorrow! thanks</p>
<p>I don't think colleges will be able to see this. They will figure out that you did poorly if you took the AP class (they will see this on your transcript) and if they don't receive any marks for that exam. If you self-studied and got a poor score, there is absolutely no way to know you took the exam unless you tell them.</p>
