I got 1 3 on Physics 1, I don’t think AP Scores will hurt if I just do not report them? In the context of my school I am not loading up on AP’s, unfortunately my district is extremely competitive, and if I had to guess a number, the average # of AP’s being taken by students within the top 10-20% percentiles is at least 12-13, with the majority of my peers having near 20 AP’s by the end of high school. I did struggle on a few AP tests this year, although I feel like my performance suffers during testing pressure rather than content, as I maintained steady grades in most of my classes except those listed above, and the only AP tests I expect to do poorly on this year is AP Physics C, because that test was just too hard for me, and possibly some of the math tests because they’re my worst subject, but we’ll see. Of course I don’t aim for 3’s, but I don’t think its too uncommon for a student to make a couple of 3’s over the course of high school, since it is difficult to be a perfect student. I think for admissions, AP Scores aren’t a large factor, and for credit, I do aim to have the best scores possible on the AP tests that matter for my major, testing pressure is something I struggle with quite a bit, and in all honesty if a class is too difficult for me to take in an AP setting, I would not mind retaking that class in college to learn the material better if my credits from AP tests are not high enough.
