<p>I’m in AP Gov, but I’m not taking the AP test in May because I do not feel the need to do so (…and also because I’m not strong in all parts of Gov). However, I am taking my other 3 AP exams as I had written in my application. Do I have to notify NU about this change?</p>
<p>By not taking the AP, the only real disadvantage you’re putting yourself through is the lack of possible college credit (I’m assuming NU accepts a 5, maybe 4 on AP Govt although I haven’t personally checked). As far as I know, colleges are more concerned about the fact that you’re in that class and how you’re doing in it; e.g. getting an A in AP Govt for the year but getting a 1 on the AP means absolutely nothing to colleges</p>
<p>^^^Agreed. By the way, you’d need a 5 on AP Govt to get one unit of credit. I can’t imagine that you would have to notify NU that you are not taking the exam. Since you are not trying to get a credit, they shouldn’t care.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it. As long as you do well in the class, they could care less what you get on the AP exam now.</p>
