Not taking AP test

Applying to College
1

Hey so I’m not sure exactly what thread or category this is supposed to go in so I’m putting it here.

So I’m a senior in high school and already have my deposit in for my school. Back when I submitted my application I said that I was taking 2 AP tests, but because of a conflict with the an IB test, I have to do late testing for both of them. However, the late tests for both occur at exactly the same time. I talked to the AP/IB office at my school and they said I have to choose one. Should I notify my college about this (and if so, how) or should I just say nothing?

Thank you!

IMHO - you do not have to notify colleges. It’s pretty simple - you take an AP Test to get college credit. No test no credit. Period. End of Story.

You don’t have to say anything to your college about deciding to skip one or both of the AP exams. They don’t care about this.

The only reason to take an AP test at this point in time are

  1. your high school requires that you take it
    or
  2. the place you will be attending awards credit and/or placement for that particular test, and you also believe that you will score in the range to qualify for that credit and/or placement.

My D did not take one of her AP exams and it was no issue.
