<p>My D has done fine in APUSH this year but doesn't test well in history. Her essays, classroom work and projects have kept her at a "B" grade, but she knows that she won't do well on her AP exam. At our school you recieve AP weighting on your report card as long as you pass the course over a "C" without needing any particular score on the AP exam. My D has no intention on sending her score to colleges and knows she won't get the college credit. We were just wondering if colleges request their scores and if getting a "1" on an AP exam creates a problem. Does anyone have any info on this...</p>
<p>Students can choose which scores to have sent to colleges, and she can choose not to send the score if she doesn't like it.</p>
<p>as 'TheMathProf' said, you can choose to not send the scores, but colleges prefer to see that you took the test and failed (in the case she actually did) than if you didn't even attempt to take the test.
perhaps you can 'cover' that poor ap grade by having her apush teacher write a recommendation for her when she applies to college.</p>
<p>ap scores only help, cant hurt...
unless you choose to like, send colleges all the failing scores you have and not the 5's.....if you do that...then........................

<p>Depends on the school.</p>
<p>in general, they don't hurt.
if you pass, you get credit (depending on school)
if you fail, you just take the course again in college.
no biggie, really.</p>
<p>That's why I'm not sending my scores to any college this year. I don't feel as confident/prepared on the exams that I'm taking, so I was just like "Whatever..."</p>
