How much do AP test scores matter in applications

I see we can submit AP scores on the Commonapp and sometimes on their application portal, but how much do they matter because I never see them listed on common data sets

They are near useless in admission decisions except in cases where you use them to "counter" a low grade in a class. Like a 5 in APUSH shows you are knowledgeable when you got a 79% in the class.

Hope this helps.
