Is what my teacher said about AP tests true? Highly debatable...

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>Today I asked my teacher whether I should drop my Physics C E&M test because I had not prepared at ALL for it beyond what I had learned in the Phys. B course. Also, it's on Monday so I am concerned about my score on it. </p>

<p>Anyway, she advised me to take it anyway, saying that "No one, including colleges, will care how low the score is. AP tests can only help you skip courses in college, and they will ONLY object to not taking an AP course that's offered. Since you signed up, you might as well take it- even if you don't pass no one will care."</p>

<p>Tl;dr: AP tests can only benefit you- take them even if you know you're going to get a bad score. </p>

<p>So, is this true? Should I still take that C test on Monday? </p>

<p>Thanks, and best of luck on your tests.</p>

<p>If you pass, you might get some credit. If you get a 1 or 2 it is considered fail.</p>

<p>Very few colleges ask for AP scores so in most cases you can self report the good ones and not mention the bad. </p>

<p>When it comes to getting credit, either you get a score that gets you credit or you don’t. Once you’re admitted colleges don’t care at all beyond that.</p>

<p>You’re teacher is correct.</p>
