Only have 5 AP scores as a rising senior

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>Took all AP classes offered. In my city, there aren't many AP classes for the first three years of high school in all schools.</p>

<p>Sophomore year:
Took 4 honors and 1 AP class
Bio (H): 3
Euro (AP): 3
I didn't realize how difficult the AP exams were so I just learned the material but didn't take the time to actually take some practice tests because for me, I need to get use to the test itself in order to score well. </p>

<p>Transferred to a new school
Junior year: 5 Honors and 1 AP class
Chem (H): probably a 1 or 2 - just wanted to see if I can do it but didn't really study until the week before in my weakest subject in school
English (H): most likely a 5, possibly a 4
USH (AP): most likely a 5, could be 4 if somehow I was really unlucky</p>

<p>Senior year: will take
AP Physics
AP Calc
AP English Lit
AP Gov't
AP Econ most likely
French 4 Honors (I suggested to have AP but my class refused to allow it and my teacher is one of those who asks students for advise)
I know. They offer a bombardment of AP classes senior year and senior year only :(</p>

<p>But by the time I take the next AP exams, college applications would be totally done with no need to send additional info of myself since decisions would have already been made by then. I won't send the scores for the ones I got 3s or lower since it's not worth the bother but that leaves only 2 scores.</p>

<p>Do colleges care about that? Especially since I took AP Euro as a class and don't send my score in for that? Or will the fact that I took all the APs and Honors (as much as allowed at least by the administration) in both schools plus having all AP and H classes next year help me more?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>AP scores are self reported on college apps. If you don’t want it to show up, it won’t appear. You can ‘hide’ all your scores for the application, but the classes themselves and the grades you got in that class do show up.</p>

<p>But then that brings up the question of whether you should hide the grade. If your score corresponds with your grade, great. If it doesn’t, then potential grade inflation comes into play.</p>

<p>It’s great that you’re taking difficult classes to challenge yourself though. Try your best on the AP tests, and don’t forget that the score itself really only matters once you’re IN college and figuring out what courses you have taken/need to take.</p>
