Reporting Questions

<p>Can someone explain how the reporting process works?</p>

<p>Do you self-report the scores you want and then after acceptance the college receives the official score report?</p>

<p>The reason I;m asking htis is because I think I failed one of my self-study AP's and was wondering how the reporting process would work.</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch.</p>

<p>regardless of if you self-report the scores or not; the school will not award credit until they receive the actual official report from college board.</p>

<p>generally, this will occur at orientation, or the like.</p>

<p>ic ic so theres no harm in not reporting a low score in a self-study situation?</p>

<p>You don't have to report any AP scores. Admission to schools generally do not depend on AP scores. Of course, there are probably schools that do take these scores into account for acceptance, but I know for sure that most do not (even the Ivies!). They do, though, want to know that you are taking them, if it is appropriate for you.</p>

<p>at what point do u need to start reporting? i was a sophmore last yr and dint report ay scores, so no harm done right?
should i report my next yr scores?</p>

<p>its most important to report senior year, because it will contain ALL tests from all years.</p>

<p>the other two aren't as necessary.</p>

<p>hey thanks for everyone's responses</p>

<p>just to clarify:</p>

<p>application process: self-report what scores we want the colleges to see
after accepatance: send in an offical score report from collegeboard</p>

<p>therefore, during the application process an AP exam could be missing from the self-reporting section but that AP exam would show up on the official report after acceptance.
Is this the jist of it?</p>

<p>Also, does not reporting the low score and then having the college see it on your offical score report hurt you in any way?</p>

<p>Thank you all very much.</p>

<p>bump..anyone care to give their input?</p>

<p>BUMP BUMP - I want to know, too! Also, can you pick and choose which AP scores the college sees? For instance, you get a 2 on AP Chem but a 5 on Eng Comp and you want to get credit for the Eng score, but aren't looking for any credit on the Chem score (since it wouldn't be high enough). Does the college see both scores on the report or can you request that only the Eng Comp score be sent?</p>

<p>bump...i want to know too</p>

<p>From CB:</p>

<p>Grade Withholding
You may have one or more grades withheld from the report sent to the college you indicated on your answer sheet. To have a grade withheld from the indicated college, AP Services must receive your written, signed request by June 15 accompanied by a $10 fee per grade, per college. If your request is not received by June 15, the grade is automatically sent to the college indicated on your answer sheet.</p>

<p>The grade will be withheld from any future grade reports sent to that particular college. You may later release the grade to that college by sending AP Services a signed written request.</p>

<p>If you later decide to send an AP Grade Report to a different college, however, you need to contact AP Services to have the grade withheld from that grade report.</p>

<p>A request to withhold a grade does not permanently delete your grade, and all exam grades, even those withheld from grade reports sent to colleges, are sent to you and your school.</p>

<p>Grade Cancellation
Grade cancellation deletes an AP Exam grade permanently from your records. Grades may be canceled at any time. However, for grades not to appear on the current year's grade report, AP services must receive a signed letter requesting cancellation by June 15. While there is no fee for this service, your exam fee is not refunded. The grade report that you and your school receive will indicate that the grade has been canceled.</p>
