pneumonia during ap testing

<p>i had pneumonia during ap testing this year, but i'dbeen studying for those tests and came to school and took them anyway. i know that i did poorly on the ap tests, and it may have been because of my sickness.... </p>

<p>i know that this will hurt my chances at colleges, but i want to know whether colleges will be more forgiving on my scores if i told them that i was sick. or would that look like some stupid excuse for a poor score?</p>
