<p>Honestly, I wasn’t attemping to make excuses. I’ve done significant tutoring in Calculus AB and Physics B and to every tutee I have, they always have higher math SAT scores than me, and they and I wonder why it is. It comes down to this issue every single time. I don’t see any other reason why I would be able to get 5s on APs and get mediocre scores everywhere else either.</p>
<p>In any case, thank you for your advice. Despite gaining a new worry (that is, that I’ll come off weak for trying to make excuses, which I’m not trying to do at all), your comments have been very helpful.</p>
