<p>If you did well (3 or above) self report them and have a official report sent.
If you didn't do well, then don't report them at all. (If you have 4,4,5,2,2,1, then don't send them at all b/c the bad scores would make the adcoms assume GPA inflation or you didn't understand the material. If you don't send them at all, they'd wonder but can't hurt b/c they do not have the evidence e.g. too poor, wanted to send the whole report at the end of 12th grade, couldn't afford to send offical report $40, or w/e)</p>
<p>Is that right?
I just wanted to confirm.</p>
<p>I've got pretty bad scores on two of my courses. Should I hide them or should I keep them and not report them at all (all the scores?)</p>
<p>If you want to send just your good scores and school does require an official score report, I would suggest canceling the ones you don't want to report. When an app asks you to list your AP scores, it is usually expected that you list all of them, not pick and choose.</p>
<p>You cant sent "just your good scores". If you decide to send in your scores.. ALL your scores from that year will be reported, too. Also, any scores that you had on file from previous years will also be reported. Basically, when you decide to send in your scores... every single one of your test scores from every single exam that you have ever taken (even if it was 2 years before) will be sent. You cant just send in "your good ones" and leave the rest. sorry :(</p>
<p>Trust me, highly selective colleges would always want to see if you took the AP exam along with an AP course that shows up in your transcript. And if you did take the exam, they always want to know how you did in it.</p>
<p>I've never heard of any college that requires you to send an official score report when you apply. All AP scores are self-reported, so you can selectively chose which ones to write on your apps - this is actually been recommended by admissions officers on CC. For most schools, the only time you send an official score report is after you decide to attend (so that you can use your scores to get course credit). At that point, there's no need to pay to have your not-so-great scores withheld.</p>
<p>^^ Agreed, most schools don't expect an official report until after acceptance, but leaving stuff out is purely up to the applicant and idk how adcoms look at that.</p>
<p>Also, AP score reports are free to send if you listed the school when you take the test or you can send them at $15 a pop which isn't quite so expensive...also I believe that you can't cancel your score after a certain period of time and it's probably before you receive the score report on the year that you took that particular exam.</p>
