Is it better not to take the test?

Test Preparation

<p>Is it better to take an AP test and do badly, or take an AP class and then not take the test at the end? </p>

<p>Similarly, if a school requires 3 SAT II's, is it better to take 4 and pick your best 3 scores, or will schools see all 4, anyway?</p>

<p>Hmmm, those sounded much more related in my head. Oh well. Opinions?</p>

<p>you dont have to report the ap scores if you dont want to.</p>

<p>so....</p>

<p>The AP test is standardized so colleges have an idea of how much you've learned/your aptitude relative to everyone else. Grade inflation in schools is very common (kids in my school with better class rank than I have SAT scores in the 1400-1600 range...), so you've gotta prove yourself with the test. </p>

<p>Schools will see ALL SAT subject test scores.</p>
