All of the colleges we went to said in the admissions process scores on the AP exams are not taken into consideration, just if you took the AP class. So there really is no place to put the scores. So if you are self studying the only impact taking an exam with no class is if you get credit for the class after you are accepted. My son is at a college where he didn’t get many credits (they limit it to twelve hours and don’t take everything) but he wouldn’t have gotten accepted without taking the AP classes.
