Im worried because I have a B for the first marking period in APUSH. Im not quite sure if its possible to bring it up to an A by the end of the year and if so, will colleges look down because I got a B the first marking period?
If I get a B for the year and a 5 on the exam will it look bad?
Having a B in an AP class is not the end of the world. Relax. You can’t even send in your AP score before the admission decisions if you’re a senior and taking the test at the end of this school year.
@anxiousenior1 well, what if I took APUSH as a junior and got a 5 but a B in the class?
If it looks bad then our son’s in trouble after getting a D in AP English and a 4 on the exam.
Even if you took it in junior year, no college expects you to be perfect. Unless your whole transcript is a B or something, you’ll be fine. AP scores don’t really correlate to grades, because getting on 5 doesn’t mean you did 90% or better on the test.
