AP Exam Score Relevance for Architecture Major?
Hi, my name Sanvhi and I am planning to major in architecture. I am currently a junior and my dream school is University of Pennsylvania. I have listed the AP's I have taken with the score I have received, and the ones I plan to take. All the following AP's I hope to get a 5 on, but if I were to get a 4 on any, they would most likely be APUSH, both AP English's, and possibly Calculus AB or BC. I plan to put majority of my focus on AP Physics 2 and Research to show growth from a 4 in AP Physics 1 and Seminar to a 5 in those, as well as AP 3D Studio, Art History, and Calculus. AP World History Modern: 4 AP Microeconomics: 5 AP Precalculus: 5 AP Macroeconomics: 4 AP Seminar: 4 AP Physics 1: 4 AP Art History: AP Research: AP Calculus: AP English Language: AP Physics 2: AP 3D Studio Art: APUSH: AP Calculus BC: AP English Literature: Other than my exam scores, I have been doing research outside of school on architecture and domestic violence and plan to publish it, founder of the Engineering Club (integrated the Society of Woman Engineers program in it), applied for a SWE award (hopefully a recipient) and to be a SWE Influencer, applying for the Scholastic Art award and other architecture contest, SGA president for 3 years, and a youth ambassador for a domestic violence nonprofit working for university outreach. I have not taken the SAT yet, but plan to try my best to get around a 1500. I know nothing is set in stone and things can change with my results in contests, real SAT score, and more, but I was just wondering how important my AP scores would be for UPENN. Again I know there's no definite answer but I just wanted some others opinions! Thank you!!

What is it called when you do good on every assignment except tests?
Hi, I'm Sky. I'm an 11th-grade student in Canada. I really struggle with tests. For example, on my quizzes, portfolios and labs in bio, I have all 80s and up, but then on my test, I got a 54. I don't understand why this happens as I study always, but it happens in every class. My English teacher from last year is convinced I have a learning disability, and I'm trying to get tested, but in the meantime. I'm attempting to get accommodations to have a Chromebook to type my quizzes and someone to read my questions to me in an alt setting. Basically just wondering if there's a name for what I'm struggling with or if theres anything this relates to. Any help is appreciated Sky
