<p>I saw my ap score today and it was very low, 1 for ap calculus ab and 2 for ap stats which surprised me a lot because I thought ap stats was pretty easy and I should get a 4 at least :((. So my question is how is it going to affect my college admission on some average school such as UT schools or Texas A&M? Do I have to report my score and is it possible for me to retake the ap stats next year? And what if I score high on ap calculus bc next year? Any advice? Thanks you! 
btw I’m rising senior !!</p>
<p>any advices? </p>
<p>Don’t send either of those…they usually say even if you score poorly on the test you should submit it anyway to show commitment or something but I just would not send a 1.</p>
<p>If you are concerned about a mistake on your score, contact the college board for a re-grade (small fee attached). Low scores can hurt chances, but if you have other strong AP and SAT II scores, this can be combatted. Rejection is unlikely due to one low score. The most you can do is not report the score, if possible, and ensure the other parts of your application are strong.</p>
<p>And don’t stress… ap scores are not the largest factor in admissions</p>
<p>Send the scores in. @Kreig01‌, the reason people say to send in your scores is that when an admissions officer sees a student took an AP class but did not report a score for that test, they assume one of two things: 1) that the student got a 1 on all the tests s/he didn’t report or 2) that the student was simply too lazy to take the test at all. Don’t give the admissions officers an excuse to think the worst (which in the case of the 1 would be that you didn’t even bother to take the test at all). A 2 is better than a 1, so you should report it. I remember an admissions officer telling me she just assumes that the kids who don’t report AP scores for AP classes got 1s on all of their tests. And again, even though a 1 seems like a bad score, it’s better than appearing too lazy to even take the test.</p>
<p>@430ktk That makes sense the way you describe it, but I wonder if all admissions officers look at not reporting a score that way?</p>
<p>@Kreig01‌ It was a Yale admissions officer who told me that. Maybe you should take it with a grain of salt since Yale can afford to turn away applicants for whatever reason it chooses, but she said that poor scores won’t hurt you while no scores will. So I’d just follow that rule.</p>
<p>I think you should just send it. Most schools use AP scores for placement and not admission. In my high school 90% of the kids failed AP exams but still went to various public universities in the state. </p>
<p>@sw0206 Thanks you so much, so can I just send the ap stats score but not the ap cal score? And is this going to really hurt my admission? Thanks you!</p>
<p>AP scores carry little to no weight in admissions. Move forward.</p>
<p>And should I retake that stats test, I’m planning on taking the ap cal bc next year and what if I got a high score, will it help me on my admission?</p>
<p>@430ktk Thanks you so much, so can I just send the ap stats score but not the ap cal score? And is this going to really hurt my admission?
And is it going to be really hurt since I got A in ap cal ab and B in ap stats? That seems like high score but my performance on the ap is really low so will the college doubt my GPA? </p>
<p>
No. See my comment above. If you have the time and want to retake stat next year, go for it. However, I would focus energy elsewhere if I were you.</p>
<p>@skieurope‌ Will it be good if I’m not gonna retake ap stats but rather self studying instead, is that a good idea? :)</p>
<p>How would a score reported in July 2015 help with an admissions decision made in March 2015?</p>
<p>I assumed you were not going to retake the class. If you can fit in self studying with your schedule next year and whatever EC’s you have, fine. I however would just move on.</p>
<p>@430ktk Can you answer my other question?</p>
<p>@skieurope is it going to be really hurt since I got A in ap cal ab and B in ap stats? That seems like high score but my performance on the ap is really low so will the college doubt my GPA?</p>
<p>It could make the admissions officer question whether there is grade inflation at your school, but we have no way of knowing.</p>
