Does MIT require all AP scores to be submitted?

There is no way in hell that a kid who got a 2 got into MIT

Got in and graduated.

"Should" is doing some heavy lifting here. My understanding from MITChris's posts over on College Confidential is that MIT wants to see all AP scores that you have. Boggles my mind that they can't see that "should" is different from "must" or "we require." In my opinion, "should" is vague and ambiguous, and accordingly, I would report what you wish.

If you proceed with their portal, you'll know this wording thing doesn't matter. You have to report everything you took because it asks you whether you took the AP test. You have to answer Yes if you did. Then the score reporting section pops up without no other way out.

Does it have a list of all possible APs and you have to say yes or no to each? Or does it just ask about the classes on your transcript. OP said it was an AP their kid self-studied for, not a class at school. If it’s not tied to a transcript, it’s much easier to just pretend it never happened.

Some people have a cold on test day. It's ok.
