<p>I have just finished my last AP test today; Physics C. And I quite possibly can only get a 3.. I absolutely got destroyed by that test. How important is AP Exams in getting into a good college? I'm definitly getting 4's and 5's on my other 3 exams, but Physics C crushed me. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>ya i'm wondering the same thing... i too got crushed by physics c(i still can't believe how hard the second mechanics frq was)</p>
<p>For ivy league and top schools like MIT/Harvard- important for assessing academic skills etc.
For other schools- not important for admissions, but for placement once you get in</p>
<p>Getting crushed by one exam will not really hurt you even for the ivies.. but getting crushed by multiple (like 4 or 5) exams may shade a dark light on your academics, but one that can be made up for by SATs or Awesome Extracurriculars</p>
<p>I would consider SAT II's a paramountcy in admission ifor tier schools. AP scores seem to be important, but not in the same respect. If an individual is to recieve a "5" on an exam they are given credit and placement; other times, either or. Furthermore, if you do score a "5" you won't have to relinquish any money on a class in college; this is obviously not something most colleges want to do--business is business. Don't get me wrong though, of course it's always important to do well on AP's, but by no means is it the end of world.</p>
<p>I feel you man. The FR mechanics questions raped me badly. Don't give up all hope though. The general consensus is that the Physics C test this year (especially the FR) was obscenely hard. Maybe the curve will be especially forgiving...</p>
<p>If you've already being accepted to a school, will the school recind their admission with you getting a 2 or something?</p>
<p>aps are nothing but placement exams.</p>
<p>u wont get rescinded if u get a 2.</p>
