Are AP test scores that important?

Hey everyone-
I was just wondering how much colleges actually look at your AP test scores when applying. Is it true that they can only help you, not hurt you? By the time I graduate (2012), I will have taken 10 APs, and while I will probably have a handful of 4s and 5s, I will also have 2/3s. I don’t care about getting credit; I only take APs for the challenge and how they will look on applications. I just wondered if in the cases of lower scores (like on the AP French exam haha) it would just be better to cancel them. Anyways, whatever advice you can give me on the subject is much appreciated.
Thank you!
