<li><p>Can you self-select which AP scores you send to colleges (as with the ACT) or if you choose to send certain AP scores to colleges, does College Board automatically send all of the student’s AP scores (as with the SAT/SAT subject tests)?</p></li>
<li><p>Assuming the answer to question 1 is “no”:
If a student is taking an AP exam and feels she is not doing well, can she elect right then and there not to complete the test? If she doesn’t turn the test in, what is reflected on her college board record? In other words, will colleges see that she signed up for a test and didn’t complete it or will there be no record at all with respect to that particular AP test?</p></li>

<p>You can self-select which AP scores to report.</p>
<p>But it's a good idea to find out whether the high school puts these test scores on the students' transcripts (this applies to ACTs, too). If the school does and you don't want a score reported, it may be possible to have the school remove that score.</p>
<p>I would advise against electing in mid-test to not complete the test. Most kids' gut feelings about whether they are doing well or poorly on a test are based on ordinary classroom tests, where a 90 is an A, 80 is a B, etc. AP tests are scored differently. I know that my daughter came home after the AP Spanish test thinking that she had not done well at all. She got a 5.</p>
<p>My son has taken a lot of AP and IB courses, I heard he can get credit at Tufts University and graduate a semester earlier is this true? Can anyone tell me if they have gone trhue this experience and ho it works?</p>
<p>AP/IB credit policies differ from college to college and sometimes from department to department within a college. You would need to go to the Tufts University Web site and look for that university's specific information.</p>
<p>OP: You can pay the CollegeBoard to leave scores off of your score report, but keep in mind that colleges don't require score reports from the CB until AFTER you've decided where to attend. For admissions purposes, they only look at self-reported AP scores on your applications. So if you have AP scores you don't like, just don't include them on your application (and make sure they're not on your transcript). </p>
<p>I agree with Marian's advice about not canceling mid-test or even after the test. I walked out of my French AP test thinking I failed horribly and expecting a 2. I was even thinking about canceling my score, but I didn't and two months later, I ended up with a 4.</p>
