<p>What happens if you cancel an AP score? Is there a record of the cancellation on whatever Collegeboard sends to colleges or will it be as if I never even took the test? Does it cost any money? I couldn't find anything on the collegeboard website.</p>
<p>AP scores can be canceled for no fee if you send in a letter or a fax to the CB by June 15th (before you get your scores). Your AP Student Packet will have details on what to do. Why do you want to cancel scores though? If you're a senior, you've already been admitted to college and it's not going to make a difference if you don't do well. If you're not a senior, the "bad" score will be on your score report, but the colleges you apply to will not see this score report until after you're admitted and decide to enroll. When you apply, all you do is write down scores on your application, so you can choose to selectively omit certain scores. The only problem might be that your school puts scores on your transcript, but you can probably ask the registrar to omit your AP scores, if you so choose.</p>
<p>Does it show up as "cancelled" or nothing? Although I'm a senior, I'd rather not have a record of any tests that I'm sure I'm going to fail in case I ever want to transfer schools or something.</p>
<p>The AP Packet from last year say that the test is "permanently deleted from your record", so I'm guessing that there will be no record of the test at all. Only way to be sure is to email the AP people, though.</p>
<p>Is it all or nothing or do you get to choose?</p>
<p>You can choose. I looked this up because my son is nervous about an AP test he plans to take that he hasn't taken the course for. If he bombs it, he can cancel later, and still have all the others on his record. It's erased completely. No fee, if you request it by June15.
(I think you can find out your score before that though, but I'm not sure about that.)
They also have an option where you can just hold back one score, sort of like you could do with the old SatIIs. It's $10 per score, per school, so it could be kinda pricey.</p>
<p>Like ASAP said, you can cancel individual scores. The thing is that while you have to cancel by June 15th, you won't see your scores until July, so you're going to have to take a guess on how well you did. Like I said above, I don't see a point to canceling or withholding scores unless your school insists on putting them on your transcript.</p>
<p>There should be no reason for you to cancel scores because you can always pay a small fee for the collegeboard to not report a certain score(you will still see what you got on it)</p>
<p>If you cancel, the score won't be sent to any colleges, but you don't have an opportunity to know what your score is prior to cancellation. Your high school will be sent a notification that you cancelled the score.</p>
<p>Another option is to withhold scores. For this option, your test is scored and you will know what the score is. You may withhold scores from colleges by paying a fee of $10 per score per college - in addition to the regular fee for reporting scores. If you receive a 3 on an AP, you may want to report it to a safety where you might receive credit, but not to a reach where it might detract from the rest of your application. Withholding permits you to do this.</p>
