Taking AP tests

I am a High School senior and throughout High School I have taken AP classes, but I never bothered to take AP tests. I really dont know why, I guess I just didnt see it as a necessity. I am currently applying at schools and realized I dont have anything to put for my AP scores. I am taking 3 more AP courses over my senior year and am now planning on taking the AP tests for these. Is it to late?

If you are applying to elite schools, they may question why you didnt take the exams but not a major deal breaker for most schools.
