Ignore this troll.

First, those are good scores. People on here who say 5s are easy like candy are tolling you too.

Second, you don't need to submit the scores at all, or you can choose to just submit the 4s and 5s.

I think it depends on context of kids school. For example, if the kid attends TJ/Stuy/Bronx Sci, reporting a 4 in AP Physics 1 or Calc could make your child look like an underperformed compared to peers. Correct me if I’m wrong and knows of a kid who reported 4s on AP exams and got into ivies/T20 from top magnet schools like TJ.

I posted above. Even at Blair only 62 percent of AP scores are 5.

But OP if your kid attends a strong school, 3s and 4s are not great.

My kid had underwhelming AP scores at a different super strong school. Had all 3s and 4s 1520 SAT. Rejected from GT. Did not apply to any other elites. Accepted IS to UMD, Scholars not Honors 1B on transcript. Total APs were 14 including Physics C, BC Cal and beyond AP MV.

FWIW he reported them all.

There are kids with 10+ AP’s and 5’s in all of them who don’t get into T-10 schools….
