I am a senior in high school currently applying regular decision to different colleges. One of the colleges I am applying asks for AP courses take and scores received on the test. The question states “Please list any AP courses taken throughout your high school career and the score received on each test”. Last year, as a junior I took AP Calculus AB as the course because BC was not offered. However, I self-studied for the BC section on my own. I received a score of a 3 on the BC section and an AB sub score of 5. My counselor is informing me that I should record my score on the application as that I took the AP calculus AB test and received a 5, rather than the BC and getting a 3 with a 5 AB sub score because it asks for courses in the question. Is this considered lying or misrepresentation? I would receive the same college credit either way.
