<p>I canceled my AP scores in June(I sent a request via fax).
When I logged in on CB website a minute ago and clicked the "view your AP scores" button, it doesn't show my scores yet but the subjects I took are displayed?!?!?!?! The names of the subjects are there, but it just says "Scores have not been released. Please check back later." Does it mean my scores weren't actually canceled????!?!?! Or is it going to say it was canceled when the scores are released to other students?</p>
<p>Why would you cancel your AP scores? I can’t think of any reason to ever to that. </p>
<p>@ClassicRockerDad I think many people do that…? Actually… I don’t see any reason I can’t or shouldn’t do that, haha. I took 9 APs and 2 of them were not as good as the others, but still, submitting 7 APs to colleges is more than enough, imo. So I cancelled those two…?</p>
<p>you know you don’t send actual ap score reports to colleges, right? it’s all self reported? so you don’t have to tell them about the bad ones. ergo, no reason to cancel</p>
<p>@yayitsme123 yes, I know. </p>
<p>But having bad scores doesn’t feel right to me. So I did cancel them, and I see nothing wrong with it. Imo, it’s like “you don’t need to do it, but if you do, that’s fine.” I didn’t expect so many people to point out that cancelling the score is pointless…? There are many people in my school who cancelled one or two of their scores. </p>
<p>I cancelled two because I’m expecting 1-2s on them while expecting 4-5s on the others. People ask me, how can you be sure you are getting 1-2s on the two? Well, we had to drive all the way down to take the two of them at a different school on the same day for some issues at our school, and I was totally blown up because I had had a major surgery some months ago. But everything went well for the other subjects.</p>
<p>It may be unnecessary if you think colleges don’t look at the AP scores. And it’s true they don’t look at them. However, I think it doesn’t hurt to make the scores perfect even if you don’t need to.</p>
<p>Thanks for your interests though :)</p>
<p>^^^ Also, when I said “in my school,” I meant the school I used to go to, haha. I’ve been homeschooled and I took the APs at a local high. I’m just used to saying that. Sorry, it doesn’t really matter but I wanted to say this in case someone saw my previous posts and is confused.</p>
<p>I have other reasons for taking APs than telling the colleges I studied this and that. I can’t tell you much but I do need to submit the scores to use them in a different way. AP scores can be used not only for colleges but also for tons of other things to prove our academic success. So even if colleges do not look at them, there may be people who’d like to cancel some ridiculous scores.</p>
<p>I just logged onto my college board account and I have the same problem. I canceled one of my exams because I know I got a 1 (I literally didn’t bother answering any of the free response questions). My biggest worry is that it might drag down my average so that I don’t qualify for National AP Scholar. But anyways, maybe it has been canceled but they just haven’t changed the website?</p>
<p>Has anybody else here canceled an exam for this year and have it show up/not show up on their apscore.org account?</p>
<p>Ok I’m not the only one then? I have been freaking out about this. I sent the form through fax as well. </p>
<p>@desigirl1432 @Uile12345 I’m sooooo relieved I’m not the only one. If everyone’s having the same problem, then I think our scores have been cancelled and it’s just going to say “cancelled” next to each subject that we’ve cancelled. I’m not really sure… I was really worried when I saw this :(</p>
<p>I think it will just have a blank next to the name of the test. IIRC, my son canceled two scores some years ago and retook them, and there was a blank and then the new score. So, I think the name of the test might still be on the official report, but no score. I can go dig it up, but in the end, it truly doesn’t matter. Schools will never see that until after you’ve committed to one.</p>
