<p>How do you send AP scores to colleges? Since AP is part of collegeboard does that mean you have to send all the scores from collegeboard tests (sat1 and sat2)?</p>
<p>Your SAT report contains only your SAT scores. If you log into your CB account you can see exactly what was sent to the different schools.</p>
<p>AP scores are only sent after you are accepted at a school. You can self report your scores on several of the supplements - just make sure they will match the actual report. If you take your senior year APs, you can specify a single school to get the report. By that time you should know where you are going.</p>
<p>anotherparent, r u saying that when we apply, we don't need to send AP scores?</p>
<p>Yes, exactly. Only send them to the school you decide to attend.</p>
<p>Another perspective: If you have done well on 3 or more AP exams, you qualify for an academic honor ("AP Scholar"). More APs-higher academic honors. You will want to report that on your common application. It's also impressive if you did particularly well on your APs (4s and 5s)-especially if you are hoping to major in a subject area for which there is no SAT II, or you aren't submitting SAT IIs because the school doesn't require them. (A 5 in AP Environment Science can only help you if that is an area of academic interest.)</p>
<p>If you call the AP folks, they will mail a copy of the AP results to the schools to which you are applying: The cost is around $15 or 20 per report, as I recall.</p>
<p>I thought you had to put your AP scores on your common app where it says "Honors/Achievements" no matter what? Am I wrong?</p>
<p>Yeah you're supposed to your AP scores on Honors/Achievements. There's no reason to spend any extra money sending it beforehand. </p>
<p>No school asks you to send AP scores, and it would be stupid to lie since you'll have to send your scores to some school eventually.</p>
<p>It is sometimes frightening how wrong some of the posters are on this site, and the advice they give is sometimes totally wrong! AP scores can be sent directly to any schools to which you are applying by calling the College Board and paying $9 per school. More and more, schools are looking at AP scores in addition to the SAT/ACT/SAT II's. University of Michigan specifically states that applicants should have their AP scores sent directly to them from the CB. Middlebury College allows applicants to use 3 AP scores instead of SAT II or SAT or ACT scores.</p>
<p>anotherparent, you really should do more research before you state emphatically what applicants should or shouldn't do. Regarding AP scores, your advice could prove disastrous for applicants with 5's to report.</p>
<p>Many high schools obviously report AP scores on transcripts, and some white out scores below 3. But, the safest bet for applicants is to have the CB send the AP scores directly to the schools.</p>
<p>Just heard yesterday from an admissions officer at an elite school that they always look at AP scores, and the AP scores can help "resurrect" an applicant who may have a lower than A grade in an AP class. Think of the student who scores a 5 on the AP US History exam but has a B+ on his transcript for the class. Clearly the 5 on the exam is worth consideration in evaluating the student's mastery of the material.</p>
<p>Proud08er, you did the RIGHT thing, especially if you have 4's and 5's to show. Don't believe that AP scores should be sent only to the school you ultimately attend. Also, it seems odd the Common App doesn't have a specific field for AP scores, and D reported them in the "additional information" section because the scores aren't really honors, they're test scores!</p>
<p>but does the report ONLY contain ap scores (no sat/subject test scores)?</p>
<p>AP and SAT reports are different. and 4 square is just plain wrong. here is a link to a page at the U of Michigan giving instructions to accepted students telling them to send in their score reports if they want credit. As I said, you only send it to the school you get accepted at. You self report your scores before that.

<p>take a look at this: <a href="http://collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/exgrd_rep.html%5B/url%5D">http://collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/exgrd_rep.html</a></p>
<p>You don't need to send your AP scores. You self report them on the application and send them in when you've decided where to go. My kid got everywhere she applied last year w/o sending AP scores (Ivies, UMich and Stanford)</p>
<p>is it possible to send some AP scores but withhold others?</p>
<p>yeah you can, take a look at the link i posted above^</p>
<p>You can have a grade withheld for $10 per grade per school, plus the $15 for each grade report. Its very expensive which is why the schools don't care about receiving an official report. They BELIEVE what you tell them on the application, 'cause if they accept you and you lied, your admission will be recinded.</p>
<p>If you cancel an AP test, do you still need to report this to colleges?</p>
<p>what if i self-report my APs that i did "good" on, and then i send they somehow find out about my other crappy scores (or no scores), will it be bad? or would they not care?</p>
<p>Along as you don't lie you will be OK</p>
