<p>If you get a 3 on an AP Exam, how do colleges view that score?</p>
<p>I’d like to know also! Especially if you’re a freshman :p</p>
<p>I think it’s essentially neutral. You probably wouldn’t get credit for it, but I don’t think it would hurt your application either. A 3 is “qualified”, essentially, you took the course and learned the material adequately.</p>
<p>Most state university’s accept it like University of Florida, and he’s a freshman, so what will they think about it? (I’m not worrying, or freaking, I am just wondering)…</p>
<p>bump.

<p>bump 2 …</p>
<p>I agree with thirdfloor. a 3 won’t hurt you like a 1 or 2 can, but it won’t help like a 4 or 5 unless it’s a school that takes credit for a 3. For a freshman, it might look good because it shows that you took AP courses in your first year of high school…but it will not look as good as a freshman who took the same course and got a higher grade.</p>
<p>My advice? Be happy with how you did and continue to work hard. You still have plenty of time before the crazy world of college admissions, so enjoy it! =]</p>
<p>Btw: With a school who accepts it, how much will that help? And thanks for your answer BTW.</p>
<p>All the schools I’m applying to don’t even ask for AP scores. The common app has a section for them though. I don’t think it can really hurt you. AP scores are used for placement and credit.</p>
