[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of students take AP exams and don’t take the AP class. Colleges would never know the student took the exam unless the student reported it.

In cases where the transcript says the student took AP * and no score is submitted, is that an issue?[/quote]

it's not great for top schools because there are plenty of students who have taken 7 AP classes and submit 7 AP scores of 5.

All things being equal on the GPA and test score front, a college is going to take this kid over a kid who took 7 AP classes and submitted 5 scores, especially if the missing scores are in a discipline they want to study.  I.e. if they are applying for engineering and the Calc BC or physics C score is missing then that can be a strike against them.

I have a friend who was a long term reader at at top10 school and I asked her all about the AP thing as my kid has imperfect AP scores. [/quote]
