AP Scores: Anyone got them yet?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>Yeah, so I registered for the 2nd FEE, which is going on right now. I don't want to go through it if I happen to score a 5 on English Lit. I know there's a hotline you can call to find out your score for $8, but I dont want to spend the money if the score's only a day away.</p>

<p>Also, if I do score a 5, will just sending the score to MIT be sufficient to waive the FEE? I kinda wish the second FEE would be pushed back, until after everyone got their scores.</p>

<p>What do you suggest I do?</p>

<p>EDIT: Well I spent $8. I got a 5 in Lit, and 5s on the Phys C, which I am very happy about. I don't have to take the FEE anymore, right? What do I do if I already registered?</p>

<p>Yay, congrats!</p>

<p>Yes, sending the score to MIT will be enough to waive the FEE. Just don't take the FEE on the days you signed up to take it. :)</p>

<p>Sooo... apparently all the Lit tests from my school are missing! So although I was hoping for a 5, I currently have a nothing. :P
Guess I'll get to work on that FEE...</p>

<p>Scores came! 5's on both Physics C tests. Awesome.</p>

5

<p>Haha I remember coming home from work one day and opening my score report to see double 5's on physics. I think I almost fainted out of shock. I have NO idea how I pulled that off. =P</p>

6

<p>5 on Literature (YAY!)
5 on Calc BC
4 on US Gov
4 on Physics B
3 on Comparative Gov
3 on Microeconomics</p>

<p>...better than I expected, since I didn't study at all. Calc and Lit were the only classes I took seriously. I had senioritis like crazy; by the end I was doing good just to sit through the tests.</p>

<p>Things that I actually get some credits for:
Calc BC
US History
Psychology
English Lit
English Lang</p>

<p>is there any way to find out your scores (via email or phone or other) w/o your AP number?
I'm on vacation until mid-august and I don't have my AP # (it's at home). Am I out of luck until then?</p>

8

<p>Did you put your Social Security # on your exam? If so, you can get your scores with that.</p>

9

<p>What's the site for credit transfers? I thought that we only got credit for math and science AP's, we couldn't use humanties APs to replace anything.
I am bamboozled.</p>

10

<p>Actually, a lot of the math and science APs are worthless whereas you get 9 elective units for each humanities subject you got a 5 on: </p>

<p>Yeah, you can't replace any classes with 5's on humanities APs, but you can, as Hamster says, accumulate general elective credit.</p>

<p>This can be pretty helpful if you intend to go for a double major, since those general elective units count in the 270 units outside the GIRs required for a double major. They're not quite as useful if you only have one major, although they can be a nice insurance policy -- you have the freedom to drop a class or two if necessary without worrying about taking extra classes to make up for it later.</p>

<p>Anyone know when AP scores are supposed to come in the mail? Soon?</p>

13

<p>I received mine last Monday. I live in Michigan.</p>

14

<p>I got mine in the mail Thursday in North Florida.</p>

15

<p>I got mine last Monday as well, I live in Illinois.</p>

16

<p>for MIT...if u took AP World History, AP US, and AP Euro...will you get 9 elective credits for EACH exam (= 27) or just 9 because they fall into the same subject area?</p>

17

<p>You would get 9 elective credits for each score of 5.</p>
