<p>I'm a junior in 3 AP's (US History, Chem, English Language), and I know I'll get at most a 2 on Chem and US will be hard too, English I'm not worried about, but, if you don't pass your AP test, how much of a big deal is it? I know it doesn't take off college credits, but how much of a big deal is that? Also, if you report one AP score to colleges, do you have to report all of them?</p>
<p>Well let me be frank… You are already accepted to Johns Hopkins so why even worry about your AP scores? Secondly you are going to be a classics major so why even worry about your Chem/US scores? I’m pretty sure AP Chem does not effect your classics major at John Hopkins… Your in take that gift and enjoy it some poor saps are hear dreaming of getting into their dream school, UVA. Man…</p>
<p>It’s not a big deal if you don’t do well on an AP test. I’m sure colleges would like to see good scores rather than bad ones, but a couple not so great scores will not be a big factor for admission committees. AP scores are more for placement rather than admission. If admins want to see your knowledge in a particular subject, they’ll look to your SAT II tests, not ap tests. </p>
<p>You only report AP scores to 1 college, the college you will be attending. You can self report on the application.</p>
<p>Check to see if Johns Hopkins accepts CLEP creidts. If so, you can take these tests at any nearby college. The one my son took was much easier than the equivalent AP test.</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure I understand the context of your post and the follow-up replies.</p>
<p>My sense is that getting poor results in AP tests (I’m assuming 2s) is a red flag that the program you’re taking is too rigorous for you. On your applications to selective colleges, especially if you’ve taken several AP courses in your sophomore/junior year, the selective absence of an AP grade will very likely be noted. Most applicants would self report good grades.</p>
