<p>Have no intention of calling for the scores (son is away at a summer program). He will call for the scores, or wait for them in the mail, when he gets back (if they aren't already here).</p>
<p>Will sweep your floor for $8. </p>
<p>I have exactly $0.01 left after paying $1.26 for my lunch about 5 minutes ago.</p>
<p>laserbrother, LOL!
Our $8 bought four scores, so at $2 per score....not a bad deal.</p>
<p>Not all scores are up yet. </p>
<p>My daughter had to take one of her four tests on the make-up date, and that score wasn't up yet. So we spent $8 to get only 3 scores. Horrors!</p>
<p>I just told my son he could call and he replied, "Like I'm going to work an hour and a half for my AP scores." lol</p>
<p>Rotfl!! :) :)</p>
<p>i called for my D, she wanted to know if she got the score she needed to opt out of a core class, and she did....she was happy and told me to check (she is working at a camo for 6 weeks with little access to much communication, except I can text her!!)</p>
<p>I called a few weeks ago for her (she was out of town) and had to jump through some hoops to verify that she indeed had it set up so scores would be sent to her college....all is well</p>
<p>they said the plan was for the scores to be sent to the school and to her July 7th mailing....</p>
<p>Weenie, that is too funny! Your son has truly graduated!</p>
<p>Wait for the scores they already make too much money on everyone! I can't understand why they just don't release the scores for the over the top price you pay. Excuse me aren't they cashing in on the anxiety they claim shouldn't exist? Who sits on the college board board of trustees? They have it both ways. They terrorize the kids and parents then claim the kids and their parents are too anxious! They they coin the phrase 'helicopter' parents.
When is someone going to complain about all of these fees? They should be free to all!</p>
<p>We called because my S already signed up for all his first semester classes, assuming he'd passed his exams. Thankfully, he did, so now there's no drop/add that needs to be done. With the CLEP test for college algebra already passed he's got enough hours and credits to complete all GEP requirements at the end of his first semester. This means he already has "sophomore" status in credit hours and the chance to complete an accelerated M.S. in economics within four years. He's very pleased ... and, I figure that $8.00 v.s. the amount of tuition we've saved ... evens out nicely, especially considering that the county pays for the kids' AP tests. </p>

<p>I can understand why it is more cost-effective to provide the scores over the phone, can't you? It takes a lot longer to print, collate, address, stamp all the scores for the entire US than it does to connect to a computer program.</p>
<p>When you call, all you're getting is a computerized voice telling you the score (based on the numbers you keyed into the phone). It doesn't entail human interaction. It doesn't involve any prep or labor because the scores are already in the computer. That's why you can get them on the phone sooner.</p>
<p>I guess the $8 fee might cover the cost of providing the voice software and additional phone lines as a courtesy for people who don't want to wait.</p>
<p>If it weren't for my son wondering if he was SCREWED for not scheduling frosh english comp, I might not have called for him. Who knows, or maybe it's just interest. </p>
<p>Both of ours. Not just his. Really. We do talk. We love and trust each other. Really.</p>
<p>I called and got 2 scores of the three taken, the third was chem, she had to take it on the makeup day, and that score was not available yet. I know someone else who took spanish on makeup day also, and his score n/a also. Does anybody know how much later these "makeup day" scores are usually available? Thanks</p>
<p>A kid in my school didn't get one of his until early October. It would have been pretty bad if he had needed it for placement. And he thought that it wasn't graded properly either, but by that time he just gave up on it rather than spending endless time trying to fight it.</p>
<p>I think there are some CC posts about these issues from late last summer/early last fall.</p>
<p>Good luck. Keep after it. The squeaky wheel does seem to get the oil on APs, but it is really frustrating.</p>
<p>The call-in service didn't work for me. Did anyone else have a problem? (John, as you would guess from my stories, isn't curious. "I got 5s last year, why would this year be different?")</p>
<p>My daughters scores are N/A also; she took them at the regular time but had the use of the computer for free response. Anyone else in this position?</p>
<p>There WAS a scoring problem with one of her tests last year...free response was lost. Maybe they are taking extra time on hers this year :)</p>
<p>A couple of years ago my son's APUSH results weren't available for a LONG time. Maybe it had something to do with grading essays?</p>
<p>Wash,
I couldn't access it through the automated system since S didn't put down his SSN. The customer service rep said it's very common for kids to just leave it blank, but once she had a girl who just filled it in with a bunch of random numbers. S now has 12 usable AP credits, enough to graduate a year early and save us $45,000 -- but he'll probably just use them to get a four year master's. Because what would we do with all that money anyway?</p>
<p>It worked just like Counting Down said in Post #18. I also appreciate reading everyone else. S did well! I phoned his answer machine at work, so that will be cheerful news. He'll calculate how many credits it will gain him at college.</p>
<p>This is really odd reading. Can you imagine an archaeologist 1,000 years from now trying to figure what on earth we're talking about here? Very technical... </p>
<p>What a difference for our family to be in a suburban h.s. that offers so many AP courses. Youngest S took five of them, having skipped 11th grade, so that's pretty hearty. Oldest two could only take the one course offered at the old school.</p>
<p>I'll pass this wisdom along: My older 2 got to college without any AP credits, since one of those places required a 5 to garner credit, the other didn't even give grad credit for a "5" but would at least give entree to upper courses. It's no tragedy, but I noticed that my 2 older kids really envied others from schools where more AP's had been offered. Those kids had lighter course loads, entree into upper level classes without prerequisites, and some graduated a semester sooner. Although one of their colleges didn't award actual credit towards graduation, even the pushup into post-entry classes in some departmetns would have been fun during freshman year.</p>
<p>The one who was steamed was my D, who was very talented in art and could have generated a portfolio, had she or we known about it (alas, no CC then on our radar screen). If only any of her h.s. art teachers or GC had mentioned a word about it. Those are judged by outside sources, so you needn't have an AP Art Studio offered at school to generate the portfolio. Doing that is work, but she would have/could have.
Once senior year of college came, she was still cranking out 15 credits per term while others had much lighter schedules when they needed to think about honors projects, grad school aps, etc.</p>
<p>So if your kid is in a h.s. that doesn't offer it, "AP Art" might be possible anyway if you have the makings for a portfolio.</p>
<p>Anyway, thanks all for writing!</p>
<p>A few days ago the CB site said that scores were to be mailed out July 1. I can't find that now on the site, and I thought I could wait a few days to find out and not enrich the CB coffers by another $8. Anyone knows if this is still true?</p>
<p>For incoming UCLA students the AP scores are up on the myUCLA website. So if your kids are incoming college freshmen, you might be able to find them on their school website.</p>
