How to address low AP score on application

Applying to College

<p>D took her first AP course sophomore year and receive straight As, quarter and semester. It was a big shock to everyone that she received a score of only 1 on her AP exam, which was her first exam. I have no reason to believe the teacher didn't prepare the students well, as some received higher scores. D did study and this particular AP was a favorite subject, although not in her major field. </p>

<p>At least one application is asking for a list of AP courses as well as your test scores. How bad will it look that she scored only a 1 (her transcript will show a grade of A and the rest of her stats are excellent)? We always thought she could "ignore" the exam info on applications, but it has come up in one.</p>

<p>have you considered hand rescoring?</p>

<p>try getting it rescored, but i think its more likely that she didnt study as much as you think she did</p>

<p>i know plenty of people who do well in classes and then think theyre 'above' studying for the AP...they dont quite do THAT bad but who knows</p>

<p>try re scoring..if its legit you can always not show the colleges</p>

<p>Do you mean list the class, but don't indicate the test was taken? Is this an option?</p>
