Is it worth sending 3's (or 4's) to colleges?

<p>I’m a junior about to take AP Eng Lang and APUSH next month. And I’m nervous…(Plus I’m taking a college course and have THREE tests for that class alone the weekend between my two AP tests…yikes!)</p>

<p>I’m worried I’ll get a low score on the AP Eng test…I have trouble finishing my essays in less that 45-50 minutes, and you only get 40 a piece to write :(</p>

<p>APUSH, i’m slightly less worried about, simply because my when I asked my teacher he said that the students that actually put some effort into his class told him that the AP test was easier than his unit exams (<– and I believe it, they can be killer).</p>

<p>So If i get say a 3 on AP Eng and a 4 on APUSH, is it worth sending to the colleges I’m applying to? (I plan to major in IR/Arabic/Psych, and not at an Ivy or anywhere like that lol.)</p>

<p>Sorry this was a bit long! lol Thank you!!</p>

<p>I would send anything that is at least a 3 to colleges. The college might be able to do something for you. Most colleges accept grades of 4 or 5 for substantial credit, so you should definitely at least send any 4’s or 5’s you get.</p>

<p>Thanks, but one last question…</p>

<p>You don’t send scores in to colleges until they’ve accepted you, right? They only know you took the class when you apply? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
