<p>It seems like a lot of people are complaining about their Computer Science Scores (unless you made multiple comments about this and I noticed them all). Rescoring is an option, but if College Board made a mistake then you might want to wait it out until they realize. Then you won't have to pay.</p>

<p>Wait, I just realized: "I ended up with an A in both college classes." Then why did you even take the AP?</p>

<p>...uhm...college credit?</p>

<p>...uhm...last time I checked, taking college classes gets you college credit...</p>

<p>Some colleges look at transfer credits differently. When I was taking calculus at my high school (which didn't offer AP courses, but offered college credit), I opted to take the AP exam because my college of choice wouldn't accept the community college credit that was being offered, but would accept a 3 or better on the AP test for placement.</p>

<p>I still don't understand why you would take both.</p>

<p>Mabye he wanted to see how he'd do on the exam. Who cares why he did it.</p>

<p>NOTE: CB will refund your money if there is a discrepancy in your AP/SAT I/SAT II score when you request a rescore. If the score is correct however, you will pay through the nose.</p>

<p>There is also the possiblity that you actually deserved a 1 because the class was too easy or was not taught well. Take note that 33.7% got a 1 on the CS A exam.</p>

<p>I ended up taking both. Some colleges prefer the AP credits while other colleges prefer the community college credits. And some colleges will treat the two differently.</p>

<p>One other thing to consider is that there are a large number of students who transfer colleges for one reason or another, so if the college credits are relatively cheap, I'd advise students to take them, even if they don't think their college will. The college they might transfer to may accept them.</p>
