<p>Well... the APES test wasn't so hot for me...</p>
<p>At worst, I missed 35ish MC (just a rough estimate) </p>
<p>And on the essays, I don't think I did particularly well. I ran out of time on the FRQ with math and didn't get any of the answers so that's like 8 FRQ points down the drain. </p>
<p>The rest of my FRQ's were sort of okay... maybe like 5 out of 10 points each. </p>
<p>My goal was to make a 4. I don't know if I have any chance of that. Does it make sense to cancel a score or is it better to just wait and see and not send it if it's bad?</p>
<p>Also, do AP Scholar awards mean anything; should I even worry about losing my "distinction" by not cancelling it?</p>
<p>No, I don’t think that you should cancel your exam score considering these options.</p>
<p>1) If you are taking more AP exams this school year and you get 4s and 5s on them, there really isn’t any reason that you would do bad on these exams.</p>
<p>2) According AP Pass Calculators, what you described (and assuming you got 20 more MC wrong and a 5-6 on all FRQ’s), you got yourself a 3 on APES. If you end up going to a college that accepts 3’s for credit, then why wouldn’t you want to show them that score? And besides if colleges don’t see an APES score on your app or on your score reports, but you took an APES class, they might think that you had something to hide.</p>
<p>3) AP Scholar awards are cool, but seriously, colleges will know that if you do well on AP tests and how much many you take already so they can guess if you’re a good AP student or not. If you’re aiming for Siemens AP Scholar award, yeah, your 3 on an APES might hurt, but Siemens is a long shot for everyone.</p>
<p>4) If you cancel, you’ll never know your score. Unless, you are 100%, you got a 1, then there is a grain of hope alive for you.</p>
<p>Thanks Blair!</p>
<p>I’m taking three other AP tests. My college of choice would accept a four I believe, but not a 3. </p>
<p>If I don’t get a high enough score for credit, I may retake the test next year (and I will likely get a 5). </p>
<p>So for college admissions purposes, is it all self-report or do I have to send scores? </p>
<p>(i.e. if I retake the exam and get a 5, can I report the 5 alone or would I have to show whatever I got this time?)</p>
<p>There’s no point in cancelling an AP score unless you’re absolutely, positively sure that you failed and the colleges to which you’re applying require that you send your AP scores (the top ivy league schools only). </p>
<p>If what you said in the OP is true, you probably got a 3. You’re over acting a little. :P</p>
<p>Yeah sorry, not trying to overreact. I think I have to self-report AP scores for the schools I’m applying to. </p>
<p>I don’t know if that makes a difference…</p>
<p>Haha, don’t feel bad… I had time for the math one but got that the school had to pay $18,000,000,000 for forest upkeep 
Pretty sure leaving it blank would have been less embarrassing…</p>
<p>hey dude, give me a hi-five. Exactly my situation right now (although I think you still did better than I did…)</p>
<p>^
I thought we shouldn’t we discussing the FR during the 48 hrs after exam?!</p>
<p>A question here regarding score cancellation: I am not sending my AP score report to any colleges this year (I left the area blank), and, say, I score a horrific score. If I cancel my score after I knew the results (which is obviously after June 15th), will there be ANY record of me taking the exam when I send my AP scores to colleges 2 years from now? I read on the college board site and it was kinda confusing, anyone can explain?</p>
