<p>If it’s only a question of doing poorly on the AP test, I wouldn’t worry about it. You don’t have to report your score and you don’t have to take the test unless your school requires it. (Ours does.) I have to wonder what is going on in the class though, even my non math guy did reasonably well on the AP Physics C exam (which is the one that requires calculus). He did not spend hours studying by any means - especially since that exam was spring senior year!</p>
