Any Questions about Stony Brook?

Hello, I’m waiting for my ap calc score release and I’m wondering if ap score sends are mandatory. I heard if you meet the requirements you send your scores for credits. SB requires either a 4 or 5 for calculus so what happens when you don’t score a 4/5? Do you still send the score (because wouldn’t it be pointless in this case)? SB also emailed me saying “To help facilitate your Orientation session and ensure that you are placed into appropriate classes, please take the following actions as soon as possible (if you have not already done so)“
It sounds mandatory to me but I just wanted to clarify.
