<p>Hey guys:</p>

<p>In the letter I recieved with my candidate number, there was an additional document describing the admissions process and under the section "Personal Check-off List", there was a clause where the academy recommended that you take the College Board's English Composition Test essay. Anyone know what that is or what it's all about? Is it even necessary? Anyone taken it?</p>

<p>Also, they recommended taking AP tests if you took AP classes. Why would they tell you to do that if they won't take AP credit in the first place and we won't even recieve the scores until mid-july, when we are already plebes??</p>

<p>AP scores are accepted in some classes.
AP scores are used in addition to your validation tests are used to place you appropriately for some classes.</p>

<p>Really? Thats new. So I should have my scores forwarded to the Naval Academy? I have taken European History and got a 4. I am taking 5 AP's this year (English, Calc, Government, Chemistry, and Physics). Do you know if any of those will count?</p>

<p>All the detail you need. Senior year AP scores arrive in time to count.</p>
