<p>How do you cancel a score? I never knew that was possible!</p>
<p>serge: you do have to report them, they ask on their supplements. Unfortunately.
I just don't want to get stuck going to a school I don't want to be at for four years of my life. Haha.</p>
<p>u call ap services. u cant cancel it now since u know ur score. u "erase" it or keep it from colleges.</p>
<p>Just don't report it. No big deal.</p>
<p>Can I do that, though? Just....not report it? Even though they ask for them?!</p>
<p>Can someone please respond?!!!!! What is a decent score for self studiers?!!!!!</p>
<p>For you, fhimas88888888, a 5. For everybody else, a 3. Colleges want to admit humans, not machines. If you're going to self-study, make sure it's going to be something you're interested in, not something you're taking just to impress college admissions counselors. If you're going to be a senior, the score wouldn't really make a difference. If you're a junior, just do you're best, and if you're score's not that good, just tell the admissions officers that you self-studied and did your best.</p>
<p>oh yeah, for those of you who haven't noticed yet, the AP test is not a measure of your intelligence. nor is the SAT. a 3-hour test and a number from 1-5 cannot possibly sum up your knowledge of any college-level course.</p>
<p>but a final and a letter grade sure can</p>
<p>"a number from 1-5 cannot possibly sum up your knowledge of any college-level course."</p>
<p>Perhaps not, but it very well might indicate your mastery of the subject. People mess up, that's for sure, but AP tests do a better job of measuring knowledge than SATs do.</p>
<p>My son's school will increase the letter grade in a course after the fact with a high score on the AP test. So a B in the course might turn into a B+ if you get a 4, or an A- if you get a 5. Do other schools do anything similar?</p>
<p>hell no, i wish my school did that</p>
<p>dadx3
well, it really depends on the teacher a lot of the times. the us history teacher at our school adds 5% to the score if you get a 4 and 10% if you get a 5.</p>
<p>Thats interesting, it almost makes the AP exam like the final exam for the class that can only help.</p>
<p>well the thing about our school is there is really a lot of community college credits available, and people take them cuz they're going to an in-state school, and they are too lazy to take the ap test or dont wanna pay extra money. From about 120 people in all 4 of our calc BC classes, only 18 people took the test. so taking the ap test is pretty unusual, and they're considered to be very hard, thats why teachers award those students with grade boosts.</p>
<p>anyone take the makeup ap ush test on may 18th?</p>
<p>Qwertz82 - yeah, my mom works as a staff member for the MN legislature's education committeee (so she writes all the education bills FOR MN!) and my dad is a corporate governance lawyer. Yes, I am interested in it - but there were two benefits from self studying. It would, as you said, impress college adcoms, and 2ndly (the more important one) is I would learn something about american policy that I wouldn't get through my school's educational track. Jazz band is at the same time as con law (I go to a private school, and our administration SUCKS SO MUCH, I HATE THEM - okay, I'm better now. (said in a paternal voice) The administration does not like to change its mind once it makes a decision, no matter how ill conceived it may be). So I c/n take con law - poli and gov't was the next best thing.</p>
<p>My teacher bumps up the grade if we get 4s and 5s.. depends on the teacher here. :0 But yeah prolly the only reason why I bothered to try... wanted that nice gpa. ):</p>
<p>Hi, I found out my 2 Ap grades today and i did pretty bad on it. and on my birthday too....anyways, i'm really concerned about how this is going to affect on my transcript. Its going to be on my HS transcript and will be sent to the college that I'm going to apply. I have a good year grade on those subjects but the test, i bombed. I still have senior year before i graduate and i'm planning to take another Ap, which i hope will be better. Will the ppl be suspicious if they see i did good through out the year but bad on my test? Will this cause alot of problems?</p>
<p>what about if ur Ap scores are kinda contradictory to your Sat II scores. See i have a 5 for US HIS and 4 for Physics, but a 560 for SAT history and 650 for SAT physics. what does this mean to colleges if any ? Thanks !!!!</p>
<p>so at my school we only have 4 or 5 actual ap classes, but a lot of people take aps independently as they at administered on an as need basis.</p>
<p>the ones we have classes for, however (calc ab/bc, comp science, language) we are almost required to get a 5. if we get a 4, the teacher sees us in the fall and is like 'i saw your ap results....what happened?'</p>
<p>in the beginning of my ap calc bc class the teacher wrote up on the board the ap distribution from the year before, around 35 kids got 5, 4 got 4, 2 got 2-3.</p>
<p>so we dont have ap courses like we should, and other kids and sometimes colleges think we slack sometimes bc we dont have them on our transcript, but we are all intense abotu the ones we do have, and take the ones we dont on our own.</p>
<p>go private school.</p>
