I’m going to be a junior and I self studied for the WHAP test. I got a 4 and I’m really bummed out. I don’t know if this will be good enough and how colleges will view it because I did self study. Also, my SAT score won’t go up. Its stuck at a level, no matter how hard I try. Do colleges look at AP scores closely? and I also need to know how to study for the chem sat because I took it and got below a 700. I’m going to retake it but need to know what to do different this time. Im good in EC’s. I’ll be an officer in every single club I’m a part of next year and I’ve been on the varsity team since freshman year.
What are my chances and how do I get better at these tests?
AP score is only for credits and class placement. It has little to no bearing in admission.
A lot of people have told me that even though AP’s are not intended for college admission many colleges do look at closely such as the top private universities.
No, they are wrong. It’s true that submitting 3 or 2 is not wise, but sending lots of 5 doesn’t increase your chances either.
Instead, having many good AP scores says you work hard, but who doesn’t when they apply to top schools?
I’m just really stressed about college admissions in general. Do you know tips to study for subject tests and SAT?
They are hordes of threads about studying SAT in CC.
