I think I just failed my AP exam?
I'm a sophomore and I took my first AP class this year, AP European History. I maintained an A for the whole year. I started studying for the exam April 6th, and I actually studied. In May I studied for at least 4 hours each day and last weekend I didn't leave the house at all and studied the whole weekend. I thought I was going to do very well on the exam, but I just took it and I'll be lucky if I get a 3.
For the multiple choice, I thought it was very hard and randomly bubbled in 73-80 because I ran out of the time.
For the essays, I took too long on the DBQ (I'm not good at DBQs in the first place) and the proctor announced we should begin working on the essays now and I was on the 3rd paragraph of my DBQ. So I abandoned the DBQ and went to the essays.
The prompt I chose involved stating the differences of the impacts that some intellectuals had on Europe and I ended up writing an essay about their similarities... I noticed what I had done when I was finished with the essay. I crossed out the essay and there was 45 minutes left.
I wrote the 2 essays (they were horrible, a thesis with 1 body paragraph containing 3 sentences) and went back to finish the DBQ. I finished the DBQ but it was rushed and wasn't very good at all.
Should I go take the CLEP? What will getting a low score on this exam do to me?

You pick the scores that you send to colleges, so if you score low, then you dont send the score to the college. AP tests are meant to test you on your ability to take entry level college courses and the possibility to be exempted from them. If you bomb an AP test, it doesn't mean much, you just cant get credit for entry level courses college. So if I were you, i wouldn't worry, sorry you wasted so much time studying though. I also took the test today and it was the hardest of the 3 ive taken so far...
