Got a 3 on AP Lang...

Hey there! I self-studied for AP Lang and Comp and got a three eventually… That really disturbed me, since I got a 5 for AP Psych and have merely studied it for three days.

I would like to petition, but before that, I was wondering if anyone would like to look into my essays and provide me with any provisional advice, since this would directly impact my decision on whether or not to request a rescore.

Since I am going to the UK this year and got a conditional offer(I am homeschooled and skipped 2 grades), my AP scores would certainly matter a lot. My application is already complete, and I would perfectly enroll in an institution if I ever got a four or above in it.

Thus I was wondering if anyone with a high performance on AP England could possibly check my essay for me, and kindly give out their kindly advice. That would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for reading!

You can only petition if you got a 1 or 2.

AP Psych is widely regarded as on of the easiest APs. I self studied over a weekend and got a 5. So you can’t compares the 2 exams.

You cannot petition a 3, only 1s or 2s. That being said, AP Psych is widely considered easier than Lang, which might explain your confusion over the difference in scores. Either way, a 3 is still a great score and you should accept it and move on.

Thanks for your reply! But I have noticed the College Board has deleted their post saying that people earning a 1 or 2 may petition. Is that restriction subject to a change, probably?

Thanks for all your replies and patience!!!

They did not delete the official guide for the AP exams, which states that:
