<p>Hey y'all! First time poster, long time reader here.</p>
<p>I'm currently a junior and last year decided to self-study AP Government. Let's just say I procrastinated a lot and didn't do any real studying except cramming a few days before the exam. I got a 3 and while it's not a bad score, it's not a great score either and only a few of my colleges will accept it. Should I retake it? </p>
<p>Oh, and I'm also wondering about AP Chemistry. I seem to have a good grasp on the material in my Honors Chemistry class (the class moves so slowly...) and I was wondering if trying to study the extra material on my own would be insane?</p>
<p>Please and thanks in advance!</p>
<p><em>Bump</em> Hopefully someone will notice this quickly lol. Would it help to say that I’m possibly interested in pursing a degree related to government in some way,shape, or form?</p>
<p>If most of the colleges on your list accept a 3, then it would probably be a waste of time and money to retake an AP exam. Now, if you’re going after the Harvards and Stanfords, then I guess it would be worth the time. </p>
<p>For the AP Chem question: If you have the time and drive for it, I guess it’s fine. It’ll pay off next September when you’re hearing things that you already understand. It’s a good feeling.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice FutureVpFinance! Only 2 colleges of mine (BU & UMCP) will accept a 3, so I might as well bite the bullet with that. For Chem, I might as well ‘lightly’ gloss over the topics now to give me a leg up when I take the class next year. Thanks again!</p>
