To send or not to send? A 3 on AP Comp Sci

I took 2 APs. Comp Sci - 3 and Psychology - 5.

I want the admission officer to know that I am good at computers and programming. But the AP test went really bad because I accidently bubbled the wrong bubbles and it wasted a lot of time. As a result, I got super panicked and did not perform as well as I expected.

In Barron’s tests, I constantly got 4s (3 times in a row).

I think sending Comp Sci AP Score will make them question my ability and passion of computer science and may harm the chances of me getting accepted. What do you think? Should I send it or not?

My school doesn’t provide any APs. I am an international student and hence had to self study.
