<p>dufay: My son had mentioned the July 1st date, also. This was the first time we called; he took 6 exams this year and his being a national AP Scholar hinged on it so I was curious. His make-up date exam score wasn't in yet, but it looks like all 5's, so it was worth the $8. I'll wait for snail mail for his sister's score.</p>
<p>Dufay and Sewbusy, re: the "July 1 mailout date" ---
While I was on the phone with a real person today, she volunteered this information that I didn't ask about: on July 1 his scores will be mailed to his designated college, and then in the (2nd or 3rd - can't remember which )week of July they'll be mailed to our house.</p>
<p>Thanks for this thread. I called, got the scores, text'ed my son, and made his day. Made mine too, I must say. He has the opportunity to graduate two quarters early. He might, he might not, but it certainly gives him options. Hooray for AP!!</p>
<p>Add my thanks for this thread also. My son was waiting for July 1, but I told him scores were available by phone now, so we called tonight. Much as I hate giving an extra $8 to those extortionists at the college board who charge you extra for something you have already paid for bashtards!!! (there, I feel better now! :) ) My son already registered for classes and is not taking math or english 1st semester, and figured he would just take the math and english 2nd semester if he did not place out, but fortunately he got 4s in both APs, so he gets credit for both!</p>
<p>Adding to UCDAlum82's note, I think that several schools' online transcripts already show newly received AP scores (i.e. they got them before they were mailed out, too). I've heard that Florida and Maryland have them, in addition to UCLA. Since it's one of the majority of things that parents don't have access to online, I can't verify for UMd, but fyi, for what it's worth...</p>
<p>We have friends at UMD who have reported that AP scores were posted through the UMD system (under "unoffical transcript", I hear), so kids can start adjusting schedules to take advantage of their AP scores.</p>
<p>Make sure all the scores will be sent to the college when the written results are received. Last year son's senior year scores went to his college but he hadn't used the same ID # so previous scores weren't on the same list (he was one of those who refused to use his SSN and of course did not remember the # he had used before so he had two reports), he got it straightened out easily, but had to make the effort.</p>
<p>Why doesn't CB make the scores available ontheir website like they do for the SAT and PSAT? Anybody know?? Jut curious. We will wait for snail mail to see how DS did. He'd rather invest the $8 in a fast food meal!</p>
<p>D mentioned to me this morning that she knew how she did on her AP tests. Miami-Ohio had adjusted her schedule, which prompted her to look at her on-line transcript. The AP scores weren't there, but credit for classes was given, so she knows approximately what she got.</p>

<p>It is quite obvious to me that the only reason they do this is to earn extra revenue. $8 times however many students don't want to wait.</p>
<p>So why do they make the SAT scorees available on line for free?</p>
<p>I asked this exact question last year, when waiting for DS's junior year AP scores. I didn't get a straight answer, of course, but I do know that the AP tests are administered by ETS, whereas SAT is administered by CollegeBoard. They're like second cousins or something, but not the same entity.</p>
<p>What I don't get is this: If the real time-consuimg and costly part is printing the reports, putting them in envelopes, and then mailing the envelopes, why don't they charge for that method of delivery, and make the phone calls the freebies??</p>
