<p>Does spelling count... because I am just an atrocious speller, though a pretty good writer. Will I be penalized for it when the essays are being graded??</p>
<p>Depends on which exam you took, but general no as long as they get what you mean it is okay</p>
<p>I took AP US.
I have dyslexia and use a computer to write my essays (I have an accommodation for it), but I do not have spellcheck on the computer. I feel like pretty much all the word were decipherable, I just don’t know how many I spelled wrong… I really hope this does not deduct from the quality of my writing.</p>
<p>It shouldn’t matter too much for US History, as long as they can tell what you were trying to say.</p>
<p>OK Thanks! I was really worried about that.</p>
