How much does a poor AP test score hurt your chances?

<p>Like some others, I think:</p>

<p>Several 1’s/2’s = bad; may discredit your grades and/or the the strength of the academics (at least in terms of APs) at your school.</p>

<p>One or two 1’s (and a few higher scores) = they’ll probably just assume you had a bad teacher in that particular subject.</p>

<p>3’s and 4’s = really won’t affect your application at all.</p>

<p>Several 5’s = impressive; will strengthen your application… but it’s not a huge tip factor or hook.</p>
