Failed all my AP Exams, what do I do?

I would wait until the college asks for them before sending those scores.

Getting A grades in the classes with low to middling AP exam scores would indicate either grade inflation at your school, or a possible disparity between the AP curriculum and what your teachers are teaching. The latter could be fine from a learning standpoint: perhaps you covered the topic more broadly and didn’t go in depth enough for the AP exam, or covered the topic more deeply and didn’t hit all the topics covered on the AP exam - or you just didn’t study enough for the exams. A college isn’t going to take the time to dissect any of that. Which is why I would withhold those scores rather than give them a reason to stop reading and move on to the next candidate.
