What happens if you fail an AP class but pass the exam?

Basically, nothing happens if you fail an AP exam. Whether you get a passing or failing AP exam grade, you can still go to college. Colleges do not take a look at the AP exam as the only a criterion for accepting or rejecting a student. Taking an AP course in high school consumes time.

How do you get credit for AP classes in college?

To get college credit for your AP scores, you have to request that the College Board send your official score report to the college of your choice. After receiving your scores, your college should notify you about any credit, advanced placement, and/or course exemptions you have earned.

Does AP credit affect college GPA?

AP scores won’t affect your high school GPA or your chances of college admission. (The fact that you took AP courses when they were available is a different story!) But good AP scores can earn you college credit.

Do Colleges give credit for AP scores?

Many colleges offer credit for AP scores. Suppose you earn a 4 on your AP Biology Exam, and your college grants you 8 credits for that score. That means you walk into your college with 8 credits under your belt—before you even take your first class there.

What happens if you take an AP exam senior year?

Remember that if you take an AP Exam in your senior year and designate a college to receive your scores, that college will receive your entire score report from all AP Exams you’ve taken throughout high school unless you have requested score (s) to be withheld or canceled.

How do I transfer my AP scores to another college?

If your new college will grant credit for your AP scores, you should send your scores through our score reporting system. This is the same process you followed to send scores to your current college. There’s no way to transfer credits directly from one college to another.

Is it time to take the AP exam?
