Allow students to request a re-score on AP scores of 3 and higher

The Issue

In addition to requiring students to incur a $94 fee per exam in order to test amidst the Coronavirus Pandemic, the College Board is upholding their outdated policy which doesn't allow students who achieved a score of 3 or higher to request a rescore.

Although the score 3 is considered passing, many colleges and universities do NOT accept credit for a three, meaning that any student that feels they deserve higher than a three, may not be able to gain college credit for a year-long course that they worked hard in. This policy is simply unfair. Many students feel that their exam was not graded fairly, and the fact that they "passed" the exam by College Board's standards, should not stop them from requesting a re-score. 

Surely, an organization that generated 1.07 billion dollars in revenue in 2017, can allocate the resources to allow students who received a 3 or higher to request a rescore. 

How is there just no option for somebody whose exam was graded unfairly, just because they passed? What if they deserved a higher score? I, and other AP students, will not sit and stay complacent to College Board's unreasonable and unjust practices. We payed for this exam, and we deserve to gain the credit that we worked so strenuously for.
