How important are AP scores?

<p>We run a block schedule in my school and we only have one semester to cram all the material for each AP class unlike many schools who have yearlong classes. </p>

<p>My first year AP Language teacher had no idea how to run an AP class until the last few weeks of the fall semester when he finally introduced the essays to us. I hadn’t had any review since mid-December when I took the test a few weeks ago (because I had AP Physics and US History in the spring semester). </p>

<p>I just gave up half way through the first essay because my mind just went blank. I’d be surprised if I got anything higher than a 1. </p>

<p>Do colleges care at all about these tests or are they just for college credit and placement? I’m sure I did equally bad on the other two tests. However, I did get an A in Lang. and APUSH and a B in Physics.</p>

<p>I didn’t report my scores to any schools.</p>
