<p>Is it really that bad to fail an AP exam. I’m in AP Gov. and there is no way I’m gonna pass. I just dont’ care much anymore. I’m a science major. I’m taking it online and it’s just too much to keep up with. So basically is it really that bad to fail an AP Exam. Besides the shame (lol) you have to go thru is there anything else bad?</p>
<p>Not really, unless you paid to take it, in which case you just wasted money.
On the other hand, you could just not take the exam to begin with and save yourself the shame of failing it.</p>
<p>Some schools (like mine) require you to take the AP tests, but they pay for it if you actually took the AP class. Ex: If you self study, you must pay for the exam.</p>
