<p>But surely knowing AP scores a few weeks early is worth $570...</p>
<p>The sad thing is that I'm sure to some people, somewhere, it totally is.</p>
<p>The CB has excellent ways of marketing their services.......u knw it violates child rights when they exploit us in this manner.</p>
<p>It's ridiculous that they charge $8 to view scores on-line -- particularly when they charge so much just to take the exams.</p>
<p>I... will... wait... for... my... mailman...</p>
<p>Not that I can find my parents' credit card anyway.</p>
<p>@DON HO
its $8 to call and hear ur scores not view them online</p>
<p>Is AP scholar for a 5 on the test?
Thanks for any thoughts!</p>
<p>No. There are different scholar designations for different combinations of scores. Here is a link:</p>
<p>Advanced</a> Placement Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>I personally think it's pretty unfair that it takes a jump from 5 to 8 to get to National AP scholar. I'll be taking 7 tests, and it's just a bit of a kick in the face, that's all.</p>
<p>I am unaware of anything concrete (other than a certificate) that comes with the designations. It won't bring acceptances or scholarship money. If you got 5's on 7 exams, that in & of itself is an accomplishment that stands on its own. If you did incredibly well on 7 exams ... not having the 8th doesn't make a whit of difference to your life. Other than a few people telling you congratulations if they happen to hear about the AP designation, it's just a title.</p>
<p>seriously, AP distinction means nothing. The awards/titles are just another attempt by the collegeboard to make you take more tests and give them more $$. In my opinion, at least.</p>
<p>^^ yeah thats true
all u get is a pretty piece of paper with words in the mail that subliminally say "TAKE MORE TESTS! WE LOVE $85!"</p>
<p>I. Am. Dying. On. The. Inside.</p>
<p>Where are you, my mailman?</p>
<p>my friend in california recieved theirs, ughh why do i live in floridaaa?!</p>
<p>^^^^^^^
WHOA! They already got theirs?!?!</p>
<p>I'm in NorCal.. no AP grades in the mail yet.</p>
<p>Why do people in west coast get theirs scores earlier?? I thought CB's headquarters was in NY....or NJ or something</p>
<p>argh cb really ****es me of with the charges in the exam. i dont qualify for none of the financial aid for APs in my school. im taking 7 exams which is about 560 dollars this year. i spent already 200 dollars on AP and SAT prep. argh this is so frustrating. but it is all worthwhile when u pass with awards and rewards.</p>
<p>yeah they did, its funny cuz they called two days ago haha</p>
<p>I've heard they were in Princeton, NJ, but apparently they're either not, or they just send scores from somewhere on the West Coast. </p>
<p>Blllllehhh WHY do I have to live in GA?!</p>
<p>Last year, I received my scores the same day that many students in Illinois did, and I'm in southern California.</p>
<p>Seriously, trying to find a pattern of who gets scores when is just too complicated.</p>
