URGENT: Skipping AP Exam
Hey guys, I need some help ASAP. I signed up for AP Pre-calc exam because my teacher handed us the form and I didn't really give it much thought. However, the exam deadline is getting closer, and I've consistently scored a 1 in all practice tests (yes, I know, I suck). I realized now that for UK unis/ the UCAS application you need to submit all past exam scores. Would it be better for me to skip the exam all together to avoid getting a failing score or take it and take my chances with the application process (with a 1)? Ap Pre-calc is completely irrelevant to my subject but I'm afraid getting a 1 will impact my application (for context, I want to study Classics at Oxford). If I skip the exam, will the college know I did? What will show up instead of a score?? WHAT SHOULD I DO??? PLEASE give me any insight you can provide because the exam is in 2 weeks...

Is withdrawing an option? Better to not have it on your transcript at all. Also, I can't imagine failing to show up will look better than a poor grade. But I have no experience with applications from an international point of view so don't take my word for it.

Thank you!! No, withdrawing is not an option, but from what I understand, failing to show up will just account as "no score" so colleges won't be able to receive a score for it (as there is none). Getting a poor grade means it will show as 1 (which is pretty bad I didn't expect myself to suck so bad at it), but I just learned I can cancel a score permanently. Now, I'm just trying to decide between sitting it and canceling it later, or just skipping it all together.
