About the American High School Mathematics Exam hosted by MAA?

Question

Do they keep a record of scores?
What if you do badly on the exam, does it count against you when you use the score to apply for college? Thanks~

Answer 1

No, the point of the exam is more as a competition for high scorers. The only reason a college would even know you took it would be if you told them. They want to encourage more students to try more challenging math, not discourage anyone.
