Grade bump for getting a 3 on the AP test

At my school, if you get a 3 on the AP test, your grade automatically gets changed to an A (even if you have an F in the class). I find this policy extremely unfair because kids who do no work throughout the year and pass the AP test with a 3 get their C’s and D’s changed to A’s. I work extremely hard to only get the same GPA as other kids who rely on passing the AP test. I’m also concerned that colleges will not view my school as rigorous because so many kids who get 3’s on the AP tests get A’s in the class. I find this policy not only unfair to kids who actually work hard throughout the year but also to kids at other schools. Can colleges tell that kids get their grade bumped? Do you guys think this is fair?
