<p>DS has a 2 and a 3 on the AP tests he took in sophomore year, and a 4 on his AP test from junior year. Does he have to report all of them, or can/should he report only the 3 and 4 (or only the 4)? He is applying mostly to the LACs in the Colleges That Change Lives book.</p>
<p>You don’t need to report all AP exam results. However, if your son took an AP class and doesn’t have a corresponding AP test result, the admissions committee will find it very strange and may assume your son was too lazy to take the exam or got a 1 on it.</p>
<p>I would recommend you submit all scores.</p>
<p>You do not need to report your AP scores. Most schools us ACT scores or SAT plus subject matter test scores. APs are for placement or credit. You may report them if you want to.</p>
<p>If someone got a 1 on calc and stat but they had epilespy they month before would colleges consider that bad? I don’t think I could do that well because of the medicine drowsyness and the seizures.</p>
<p>Just a interesting note; later if you go to send AP scores to colleges. If you say have 5 scores, but want to withhold 1 or 2 from report that goes to the college, they now charge you to Withhold the grade from the report ($10 per grade). It also takes extra time. College Board really has a monopoly on it. Warning, we tried doing this and they still sent the other scores asked to be withheld.</p>
<p>AP scores are self-reported. You could lie about your scores if you wanted to on your application.</p>
<p>So, you don’t have to withhold anything.</p>
<p>To receive credit at some schools/placement, they ask for your scores. Thus, if you send them and want to withhold some, you have to pay college board not to send them.</p>
<p>There’s no reason to not report any AP score. A 2 earned by a sophomore on a college-level course is nothing to be ashamed of. Only on CC would people try to hide such a score.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not really. Even at my rather mediocre high school, 2’s are not good in the eyes of the students and teachers.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But, you usually don’t send AP scores until after your acceptance to a college. I have yet to hear of any college (even the most prestigious) rescinding an acceptance because of a 1 on an AP test. Don’t bother wasting the money.</p>
