Are AP test scores that important?

I don’t think they’d reject you based on a 2 in a couple of exams. You took the class, which shows dedication. But maybe somewhere halfway through AP Bio you realized that you wouldn’t major in Biology because it wasn’t really your thing, and you struggled with the exam. That’s fine. APs are for college credit and for showing how you’re ready to take on college-level work.

In short, a 2 in an AP French exam doesn’t matter - what matters is that you actually took a class in an interesting subject at a college level.
