Fail AP Exam or not take it?

<p>can you get a refund?? i didnt think so</p>

<p>no you can't.. not unless you cancel early ($14 to cancel test beforehand).. but $84 now can later save a few hundred.. i think you might as well give it a shot</p>

<p>actually, my test is on the 23rd (due to stupidity by my Cordinator who ordered too little booklets)</p>

<p>Anyone have a score I should be aiming for for a 3? (Ie: # right on MC and FR)</p>

<p>If you have until the 23rd then I recommend going to CBs website FRQs from past years and look at the Student Performance Q & A, which gives valuable info as to what the scorers were looking for in a ? and what students included/omitted in their responses. Please PM me if u have trouble finding it!</p>

<p>I don't understand why you want to know the minimum number of questions to get right to get a 3... so then you can reach that exact number in practice and stop studying?</p>

<p>If you have until the 23rd, there is no reason whatsoever for you to aim to achieve anything less than a 5. Whether or not you receive a 5 is a whole other matter, but you should study from now until then and aim to get as much correct as possible, every time.</p>

<p>But always, always try and take the test. For all you know, half the FRQ might very well be on a topic you know intimately well, or that one topic which gives you the greatest challenge might not be featured. Unless you're a sophomore or junior and you already agreed to submit scores to a college (though why, I do not understand), you'll be fine. You submit a final score report during your senior year which doesn't arrive until well after your acceptance... they will of course compare your self-reported scores to the score report, but that's all.</p>

<p>Not worth taking if you don't get a 4 or higher. In all honesty it just makes you look bad. You can always try it and make up an excuse later.</p>
