When do we send the score reports to colleges?

<p>Should this be done during the application or after admittance?</p>

<p>When you take your final AP exams in May of your senior year, you fill in the box with the college you'll be attending.</p>

<p>Do we have the choice of whether the score reports will be sent immediately to our college from the CB or they will be sent to you only, or both?
I don't want bad scores along with good ones to be reported to the college; I want to receive all the scores first, then decide which scores to report to my college(s). Is it possible?
Thanks.</p>

<p>All scores are sent unless you cancel the exam after you take it, and why would it matter if they saw your bad scores, you will already have been accepted and will have agreed to attend. They won't recind you for that.</p>

<p>AMX: What if you're a grade 9, 10, or 11 student who'll not be going to college the following September? Then can you retain your scores and later decide which ones to report and which ones to hide?</p>

<p>You leave the box blank on your answer sheet until your senior year.

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.

My bad, I contradicted my previous post.</p>

<p>AMX: What should you do if you left the box blank even when you're going to college the following September? In that case, should you report the grades by yourself when you go to college?</p>

<p>Colleges won't let you self report to get credit. If you fill in the box to send it to the college you will attend your senior year, the college will recieve a score report with all the exams you've taken whether it be 9, 10, 11, or 12 grade. If you forget to send the scores while you're taking the exam, you can contact collegeboard and send a score report but I pretty sure you'll have to pay an extra fee then. Most college say that they must recieve an official score report before the end of your fresh year or sometime before that to give you credits, so don't totally forget to send a report and double check with you academic advisor or someone to make sure the college received it.</p>

<p>cat10542: Once the CB sends the score reports to my college, does my college automatically add those AP credits to my degree? Thanks.</p>

<p>What about sending AP scores in during the admissions process? Do we just send them through CB? And then send them again after senior year to receive credit?</p>

<p>What happens if you don't send the scores even after you actually start going to college on September?</p>

<p>You can call the college board and have them send an official score report to your college.</p>

<p>War Chant: Once the CB sends the score reports to my college before or after September, does my college automatically add those AP credits to my bachelor's degree? Also, does my college notify me after it receives the AP reports and includes the AP credits to my degree? Thanks.</p>

<p>They should, I don't see why they wouldn't.</p>

<p>Check your colleges website to see which AP scores they accept. When they receive your score report, they should automatically give you credit for the tests/scores that they accept (credits vary depending on which equivalent classes that college offers credit for: ex Eng Lang AP credit maybe 3,4, or 6 hrs dep on the college). If they don't tell you that they've received your scores def check with your advisor. </p>

<p>Also for those wondering about reporting scores for college admissions. Most colleges let you just self-report. Don't waste your money on official copys. It's always safe to double check with the colleges you're applying to though.</p>
