AP World - Rescore or Retake

What should I do? I got a 1 in AP World History and am considering a rescore. I thought I got atleast a 2 for sure. Should I spend $25 on a rescore or retake the test next year? Erase the test score from my report? or what should I do?

I will take an action on this. Not doing anything about it isn't an option for me.

If you think you got a 2 at least, why not just study and take it again next year? I mean no point in wasting $25 if you'll still get a below passing grade.

In terms of college admissions, how will admission officers deem/view this?

i agree with An0maly, just retake it
but if you're really against retaking it (restudying for an AP is a lot of work/time/effort especially if you're taking a lot of APs next year) then erase the score from your report

College admission officers claim that they do not evaluate AP scores for admission. If you consistently get good scores and happen to have one bad one, they can assume that something was bad that day. It wouldn't be a problem unless you have like six 1's or something.

So, If I do decide to retake it, should I leave the one or erase it?
