omg ap test scores?!

<p>i'm a sophomore, and i'm taking two ap tests this year that i know i screwed up on..and i put my dream college that i want to go to on the pre- registration form.</p>

<p>i know that i need to hide my test scores..i won't cancel them since i still want to know how badly i did, but are there any complications in the future when i'm applying to said dream college? like, will they see my hidden test scores and such?</p>

<p>HeLp!! i'm so scared now..:/</p>

<p>please!! help!</p>

<p>Uhm, sadly, I do not know either…All I know is that in the future, don’t even bother sending them in. While free, there is the complication of having the poor test result…Then again, hey, you never know! You might actually have done well. May I ask what tests?</p>

<p>they will only see a score that you send to them.</p>

<p>This is such a weak attempt…</p>

<p>All AP scores for admission purposes are self-reported. You do not send the official scores until you are admitted, when they will be used to decide whether you will be granted credit for those tests.</p>

<p>That being said, if you did not report those scores it would be unethical. I’d say your only real option if you want to “hide” them, is to cancel them. If not, just let it go on and don’t worry about it. a few bad AP scores won’t kill an app.</p>

<p>spunaugle, I think it depends on the situation. Obviously, if you’re taking an AP class, in which case you are technically prepared for the test, you should report the scores. (Obviously, the colleges will find it suspicious if you don’t in this case.)</p>

<p>But if you studied something on your own or took them w/o much preparation as most people at my school do with the English ones, I don’t find it unethical at all to not report those. The purpose of the AP scores were not for college admission anyway. It was for students w/o much educational resources to be able to earn college credit. SATs, of course, are a completely different story all together.</p>

<p>Anyway, good luck to the OP. My experience has been that you always do better than you expected.</p>

<p>it doesn’t matter, colleges don’t look at your AP scores when making a decision</p>

<p>if you’re still worried, it’s not too late to call/contact the College Board and pay to make sure your scores don’t get sent</p>
