<p>Will colleges look at my app badly if I got a 1 on an AP exam?</p>
<p>Only if you report it ...</p>
<p>I was under impression that colleges got a copy of your AP scores when you sent them the SAT. Or is this not true? If thats not the case, then it will still look bad that I don't report a score for an AP class when I took the class right?</p>
<p>AP scores should not be a part of the college application, so you're ok(whew!) sending those scores now is a waste of money. now you can list, as your transcript will show the APs you've taken. that's all they're looking at during the application/ acceptance phase. later, you'll send the scores to the school you accept ,for AP credit. obviously, the 1 won't count, but won't hurt you either...just don't major in that subject! ;)</p>
<p>APs are sent differently, and are NOT a part of SAT reporting...that's why i said save your money!</p>
<p>As happycollegemom says - save your money. Most app's have a place to self-report your AP scores. Don't report a 1. AP scores are expensive to send. Typically, you only send them to your college are you are accepted and enrolled there. They are used for placement and credit if high enough.</p>
<p>How would a 1 be worse than no score at all?</p>
<p>assuming u took the aps at ur school they shud be on ur transcript, they are for mine with scores</p>
