<p>I'm a junior taking 3 AP's: US History, English Language, and Art History. </p>
<p>however the dilemna is i got B's in all these classes all year long...how much will this affect me? can the B's be redeemed if i get 5's on all the tests? (i'm planning to)</p>
<p>It is difficult to say, by getting all 5's it will show that you knew the material but maybe that you did not apply yourself as much as you could have in the classroom. It is a negative, but not the end.</p>
<p>what about 3s and 4s on APs.</p>
<p>I'd say the scores are more important than class marks</p>
<p>Like I said it is difficult to say, but I would assume 3's and 4's will not help your cause much.</p>
<p>scoring a 5 may also show how competitive your secondary school was if you do end up with a B. just a theory. but i do agree that it is WAY more important to do better on the AP exam than the class itself when comparing it vice versa.</p>
<p>Well, considering that I didn't take any AP exams but got in (off the waitlist), I suppose they look at other things first.</p>
<p>Good AP exam scores can't hurt you, though. Obviously.</p>
<p>I heard that bad ones don't necessarily hurt you, since you're not "required" to tell them your scores... although you probably should no matter what. I think that a 5 on the AP is worth more than what you get in class. If your class is like 10x harder than the AP, one way you can show that is through scoring a 5.</p>
<p>acually..you are. technically, they ask for scores from all exams taken on the ap. not just the 'good ones.'</p>
<p>as the official line says, APs tell the college if you're ready or not for college level work. so I think they're very important.</p>
<p>great. my AP US exam is friday and......we are at 1920. </p>
<p>...plus 3 hour practices everyday for crew....yeah im screwed.</p>
<p>The point is that you do not have to tell them all the scores if some are not 5's. It's not like the SAT's where you can't choose which sitting to send them.</p>
<p>whoa..im pretty sure they receive all your scores once you send them.</p>
<p>If u get a 1 on an ap test as long as you dont send it to them they will never know/care.</p>
<p>i thought some schools do self-reporting and when you're accepted, you send in your scores... so basically, if you lied and said "all 5s", you're screwed.</p>
<p>Well, withholding the truth is different from outright lying. -shrug-</p>
<p>if you lied they can rescind a decision based on that.</p>
<p>do you get to pick whihch scores to send in after the exams?</p>
<p>I thought you had to send all of them. I mean, I know you can cancel your score immediately after taking the test, but I didn't know you could wait, get your score, and then decide not to send it.</p>
<p>The AP Score Report that you send to colleges through College Board includes the scores for ALL of the AP tests you've taken. No picking and choosing allowed!</p>
