<p>Alright. I laughed hysterically when I saw that I got a 1 on my AP Calc test and a 5 on my AP Lit test.</p>
<p>I took Calculus as a dual high school/college course and received a B+. I wasn't the BEST at calculus but I wasn't too bad either. I performed decently on all of our practice tests. I DON'T think my score accurately reflects my ability to do calculus.</p>
<p>Anyways, I regret ever having taken the exam in the first place. Waste of money because I already had college credit for it. Our teacher just encouraged us to take it and I did. So dumb. So, so dumb.</p>
<p>SO I want to send my AP Lit score to my university, but not my AP Calc score. Obviously. But as far as I can tell, that's not possible. It sends all of my AP scores to my college. If I did send all of my scores, is it possible that my uni will see my abysmal Calc score and decide not to accept my community college credit? That would be a nightmare. If that's the case, should I not send my scores at all? Even if I did so well on my AP Lit test?</p>
<p>Also, is it still possible to banish a poor AP score to oblivion? I know you could by June 16, but that was before I even knew my scores. At that time, I wasn't expecting a 1 (or even a 2, geez...)</p>
<p>Any response is appreciated. Don't judge me too harshly.</p>
<p>Just self report your Lit score. Don’t send your test scores until you’ve matriculated to a college. Then they won’t care. They just won’t give you credit for calc (which it sounds like is a good thing - going through a second time might help you understand it better).</p>
<p>If you already received credit for it, it doesn’t matter what you received on the AP test (although @ucbalumnus does have a point about the quality of the material learned, might be worth it to take it a second time). Just self report the AP lit score, and list the college credit you already received from Calculus. At worst, colleges won’t assume you bombed the AP test if you didn’t list it because of the already aforementioned credit.</p>
<p>Colleges receive the actual AP scores in the summer after admission, and I don’t think they’d look down on it if they have already accepted you. Case in point, one poster in my social networking group mentioned that he took 3 ap tests this past may, and his combined score out of all of them was a 4…</p>
<p>I guess I didn’t make it clear. I’m going to college next fall. I’m not “self-reporting” anything. </p>
<p>Right now, I should be sending in my AP scores before registering for classes, but I hesitate. I DON’T want to send in my scores if it forces me to forfeit my credit. My grandfather paid for that credit and I would so guilty if it was worth nothing. And so far as I know, it’s not possible to exclude a low score from a full report. Should I just not send in it at all, then?</p>
<p>If you are getting credit for completing the community college class, the college is not going to withdraw credit for getting a 1 on the AP exam. The credit is based on completing the college class, not on the AP exam. So go ahead and send your scores.</p>
<p>Also, I agree that you should assess the quality of your calculus knowledge to make sure you have it down - but it’s entirely possible to bomb the AP exam (for a variety of reasons) and still have an excellent grasp on the material from the class.</p>
<p>Personally, OP would be better off by reviewing Calculus I at any time before his college freshman year instead of taking the class again. I’d recommend hitting the local library and borrowing “Calculus for Dummies” or the College Board’s AP Calculus review book, if possible.</p>
