<p>Is it possible to cancel a test before I take it? If so, will there be any records of me having canceled the test, or will nobody ever know that I registered initially, then chose to cancel later?
Or alternately, if I take an AP test but cancel it afterwards, will there be any records that I took the AP test?
How do you cancel an AP test? I know you can talk to your AP coordinator at your school, but my test is this coming Monday, so there is no way I can contact her before the test. I guess it's my fault for not starting my review by myself earlier to check that my teacher had prepared us well. But I didn't, and today we skimmed over everything as a review, and half the terms we never learned in class. To say the least, I don't feel prepared. :(</p>
<p>This is what I found from the college board website:</p>
<p>Score Cancellation
Score cancellation deletes an AP Exam score permanently from your records. Scores may be canceled at any time. However, for scores not to appear on the current year’s score report, AP services must receive a signed, written request by mail or fax by June 15. Please complete the Score Cancellation Form (.pdf/113KB) and return it to the address or fax number indicated. While there is no fee for this service, your exam fee is not refunded. The score report that you and your school receive will indicate that the score has been canceled.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to take it, you can get a refund, which I am trying to do. It will cost $13 to process the refund per exam, it says. So you will get back 75 around depedning on how your school does it.</p>
<p>so how will I go about getting a refund?</p>
<p>Talk to your counselor or AP coordinator</p>
<p>I have the same question. I don’t really care much about getting a refund, but I don’t want my AP Score Report to show that I didn’t take a test that I signed up for.</p>
<p>I was considering just taking the test and then cancelling if it I completely bombed it, but according to CB website, it will still show up as “Cancelled”. But if we don’t even take the test at all, will it still show up as cancelled?</p>
<p>(The test I don’t want to take is Biology, which is Monday morning, so I don’t know if I can contact the AP coordinator before then and ask.)</p>
<p>I just saw on another thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-davis/712057-will-low-ap-test-score-get-you-rescinded-ucd.html:[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-davis/712057-will-low-ap-test-score-get-you-rescinded-ucd.html:</a>
“The scores you receive on AP exams have no part in the admissions process or decision. They are only considered after you have been admitted to issue appropriate units to your record.”</p>
<p>What? Really?! I thought we had to send in our AP score reports to colleges when applying.
So, if AP scores DON’T factor into admissions, then it shouldn’t matter even if the Score Report says we cancelled it, right? It’s just like, if you get a 3+ score, you might get credit; if you get a 1 or 2 or Cancelled, it has no consequence (other than losing some money).</p>
<p>I really hope so D: Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>You should be able to get a refund, [AP</a> Central - Exam Fees and Reductions: 2012](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board)</p>
<p>If students pay for, but do not take, an exam, they may request a refund from the AP Coordinator. Local school policy determines the amount of the refund. The school is charged $13 for each exam ordered but not taken. This fee does not apply when an alternate replaces a regular exam. Once a student begins an exam, the fee is not refundable.</p>
<p>@archaic You can choose to submit your AP testing record; that being said, it would look pretty suspicious if you didn’t send it in especially if you’ve taken a lot of AP’s in high school.</p>
