Do i have to send in all my AP scores to colleges??

<p>Hey CC, I was curious about AP scores and college. What if I don't like a couple of my AP scores, do I have the option to send them, or do college automatically recieve them?</p>

<p>I would appreciate some responses, THANKS!! (:</p>

<p>You do not send AP scores to colleges you’re applying to nor are they automatically sent, you just self-report scores on your application. You only send AP scores to the school where you matriculate so that they can determine whether or not to give you credit, placement, etc.</p>

<p>On applications you are asked to self-report all AP scores. Because you don’t have to send official reports when you apply, if you don’t report all scores, they have no way of knowing. However, through jr year AP classes, schools may wonder why you took an AP course but didn’t take/report the test. The level of teaching and grading of AP courses varies between schools, so the standardized test tells schools if you learned the material.</p>

<p>So I have to self report ALL of my scores??</p>

<p>From the CA:</p>

</p>

<p>It doesn’t say ALL scores, but neither does it say those you CHOOSE to report. It just says report your best score per subject. I would hazard to guess that their intent is that you report best scores for all of the subjects you have tested for so far.</p>

<p>Okay then. Thanks, entomom!! (:</p>

<p>If you received a 1 or 2, it’s probably best to not report it. No score looks better than a below average score.</p>

<p>You mean looks worse?</p>

<p>He means, "[reporting] no score [at all] is better than [reporting] a below average score.</p>
