I’m going into my junior yr and recently took my first AP course + exam. I have a score of 4 for Computer Science A and my AP course mark is 95+. I’m told that if a student scores poorly on the exam but gets a great mark in the course, universities make conclusions such as mark inflation, poor quality education, bell curves etc. So basically I’m asking if my case would be a representation of this situation or if is it perfectly fine to show to universities.
Honestly kinda disappointed with the exam score tho, I thought the exam was p easy and was aiming for a 5, free rep was especially easy imo and most of my friends agreed too, guess i was overconfident lmao
Similar problem: A+ in micro econ because my teacher gave everyone 100 for the second semester. I got a 4 on the exam like you did in comp sci. I would still report the 4 because that’s a pretty good score.
However, no college will think any of those things with a score of a 4. It’s still a great score, although you just might get credit for it at the university you attend.
Now if you got an A in the class and a 1 or 2 on the exam, then yes, an AO will likely raise an eyebrow.
