<p>In response to MCow’s commentary about the rescoring process, the answer is YES, your score may (in very unlikely circumstances) go down as a result of the manual rescore.</p>
<p>Okay I did really badly, I think I got a 0 or 1 on the AP Chem test last year. Our teacher even recommended that we do not take the AP Chem test because we didn’t even cover half of the material on it (I received an A in the class, huh, great school right?). Since this happened last year(my tenth grade year) and I haven’t canceled anything, is it too late? Can I just not tell colleges about it? I’m confused about how to handle the situation.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. A 1 on an AP taken in 10th grade won’t be considered relevant when you apply to a college as a senior.</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Do all scores get sent or just the ones you request??? Thanks</p>
<p>Can anyone who’s already been through this confirm: if you don’t have enough AP scores to be eligible for an AP Scholar award until after you graduate from high school, do you still get the designation? I have read here that you do get the Scholar award certificate even if the tests were taken senior year (so received after graduation), but I see nothing on the College Board website to confirm this.</p>
<p>I read all the AP info on College Board. It says that scores will be out in early July, but if you want to cancel a score or not have it reported that you need to do this by June 15. Does this mean that you are going on your “gut” feel for how you did on the test?</p>
<p>Yes. If you’re unlucky and predict incorrectly, you could potentially cancel a 5 without knowing.</p>
<p>I’m worried about my AP scores and I don’t want a potentially bad grade to affect me negatively. My question is: can I not fill out my college information and still send the scores to them after I receive them? Obviously, if I get a 2 on my Lit test or APUSH I won’t send them.</p>
<p>If you take more than 8 AP exams and score 4-5 on all all but one, would it still be possible to become National AP Scholar?</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing too mariya!</p>
<p>No, you have to get 4+ on at least 8 exams.</p>
<p>actually, i think it’s the average. so if you add all scores of the exams you took, then divide it by the number of exams you took, it should at least be 4.</p>
<p>^yes, but you also have to score at least a 4 on 8 AP exams.</p>
<p>I encourage everyone to look closely at the AP credit policies of the colleges they are considering. It is amazing how much they vary. For example, if you have a 4 on 8 classes, it may be the difference between getting credit for the equilvalent of 12 classes at one college or 5 classes at another college.</p>
<p>This is because some colleges don’t give credit for some AP tests (such as World History or English Language). Some give the equivalent of 3 classes for chemistry. Some give more credit for a 4 vs. a 5. Some give credit for a 3. Some give the equivalent of 2 classes of credit for US history, while others give 1 class. Some have a maximum amount of credit that can be achieved by AP, while others have no maximum.</p>
<p>Some don’t give you credit for a class if is part of your major, while others say you only get credit towards a general elective in that case.</p>
<p>It is particularly difficult because people need to pick a college by May 1st, but they won’t know their AP scores from senior year until July.</p>
<p>Quick question. Are AP scores actually considered for admissions purposes? If not, what is the point of self-studying except for self-fulfillment?</p>
<p>There are awards you can get for your achievement. For example, the National Scholar Award is received when you take 8 or more AP’s with all of them 4 or above. These awards help with college admissions considerably.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not necessarily. The AP Scholar Awards (with the exception of State Scholar) are rather common and will not help your application much, especially if you’re applying to the Ivy Leagues.</p>
<p>I recently heard that collegeboard is no longer deducting .25 points for wrong answers… Is this true? And if so, does it apply to SATs as well or only to APs?</p>
