im shooting for an ivy league school..will doing the following hurt my chances?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>well...we all know that AP exams are coming up in a month or less.
i am taking 3 AP classes-- physics b, history, english...
I am passing all with an A..however, I am having a difficult time understanding physics b.</p>

<p>i fear that it will take wayyy too much time to prepare for physics B, when i could be studying history or english..subject areas where i could get a 5.</p>

<p>so here's my plan: to slightly ignore studying for the ap physics B exam and concentrate on english and history... :| in order to receive a 5,5,2 instead of of a 3,3,3....good idea?</p>

<p>Will flunking AP physics exam (or not even showing the score) look bad on ivy apps....im majoring in history or international relations.</p>

<p>how important are AP exams either way?</p>

<p>AP exams don’t affect admission much. Low scores on the AP exams do not go against you when you apply.</p>

4

<p>Why don’t you drop Physics B?</p>

5

<p>Or just don’t even bother to take the physics test.</p>

6

<p>too late to drop the class…
i could just not take the test but since the district ordered them already i will have to pay some fine–200.00usd :confused:
i could still do that but like ughhh</p>

<p>A fine? Your district is weird.</p>

<p>In mine, if you buy an exam you pay a $20 deposit, then the rest of the money by a certain date. If you decide to not take the exam any time prior to taking it you get all of the money (minus the deposit) back. A $200 dollar fine is like…more than the exam costs, so if you really don’t want to take it, just don’t go. <em>shrug</em></p>

<p>OMG thats the same thing i was saying…they said something about the exam fee+an “inconvenience” fee …wth</p>

<p>hmmm “just dont go” hmmmm <em>wide smile</em> good idea! lol
will i have the balls to go through with it though? idkk lol</p>

<p>Since CB issues this test, I think it’s safe to assume that it operates similarly to the SAT.</p>

<p>People who feel that they aren’t ready just skip the exam and their test isn’t graded.</p>

<p>I don’t think colleges look too heavily into AP exam grades.</p>

11

<p>take the class dont take test. or just drop class. Dont take the test if your gonna get below a 4 on it.</p>

<p>I think you should at least try to get a 3 on AP Physics.</p>
