The "R" word?

Ok, I’m wondering if I actually have a problem, or if I’m just worrying myself:

So when I was filling out my UC application, under the “AP tests” section, I put down the two “AP Physics C” tests (Mechanics, and Electricity & Magnetism). The test I’m actually taking, as I later discovered, is AP Physics B. Personally, I’m not too worried about this, mainly because it seems like the “C” tests essentially cover the same material as the “B” test, just split into 2 parts, and it’s not like I just didn’t take the test, I simply put down the wrong one. Also, I’ve heard that colleges care little about senior year AP scores, as they aren’t reported until after you’re in anyways… and either way, I’m still taking an AP Physics test.

I also found out that the actual AP Physics class (which I received an A in) is not on my application; I forgot to report it. Of course, taking (acing) an extra AP course beyond what I reported on my application could only help me… right?

Anyone? Input, speculation?
