<p>Here is what college board told me about AP scores. Students have the option to supress or cancel an AP score. If it is suppressed it doesn’t go on the record to be sent to a designated school. There is a fee for each supressed score and for each school it goes to. A score can be cancelled at no cost but the AP fee isn’t refundable. If it is cancelled it is like it didn’t happen. If it is cancelled or suppressed prior to June 15 it will not go out on any reports sent out this school year. If it is cancelled after the 15th it will be on the record until next year. If it is cancelled prior to June 15 the score will not count against the student for any AP scholar awards this year, if it is cancelled after June 15 it will not count against the student for AP scholar awards next year but it will count this year. My understanding about colleges and AP scores is that they are self reported until after the student is accepted. You can call collegeboard AP customer service to verify any of this information and to get the specifics of what needs to be in your letter to them. I checked into it because my son is in a school that is for the first time requiring AP testing this year.</p>
