Hello everyone,

I got my AP scores today and I won't go into any detail but I passed none of them. Does anyone believe that I should still put my scores on my application?

If the catalog for the colleges say that your scores are not good enough to allow for credits, I don't think it matters.

i believe 3 is the passing grade. If it's below that don't bother.

I think non-passing scores won't be needed on your application; it's likely enough that the coursework from the school is listed, and that it's perhaps best to ignore that you didn't pass the tests. Non-passing scores won't really help your application.

It seems unneeded to even eventually report the scores to your institution of choice, since credit probably will not be awarded (but again, check into the exact score and your institution to be certain).
