First question, colleges do NOT place much weight on how well you did on the AP tests unless there is some attached story [self-taught, etc.]. Second question, the scores don’t have to be sent, I didn’t bother sending mine since I only had one grade [plus a teacher of mine referred to my grade in his rec], plus I think you actually have to pay to send the scores anyway so it’s def less weight on your wallet. Third question, hmmm that one is tough, I mean I didn’t send mine in an official report and I got an A in my chem class, but then again they did know my score nonetheless so that’s a tough one to call, but in general I’ll stick to my answer for the first question in that schools don’t heavily weigh ap grades.
