AP Compsci Test

So it's college season and my sister is a senior. I've seen her spend hours on this blog called College Confidential where all kinds of people discuss the minutea of getting into competitive colleges. Interestingly enough, people always list what APs  they have taken and what scores they got. Yet, of all the entries I've read, no one lists AP comp sci. Seriously, everyone lists chemistry and APUSH, but no-one lists APCOMPSCI. Maybe this is because very few people do well on the APCOMPSCI. I mean, from hearing all of the people in our class talk, none of them got 5's. I will study for the compsci ap. However, I won't spend an inordinate amount of time memorizing the tiny details that go with the ap test. My goal is to get a 3 just to prove to myself that I can. Hopefully, I will go to a college that is so good I won't be able to use the ap test for credit even if I wanted to. (I know that MIT makes you take their programming course even if you got a 5 on the AP).
