| sunnyflorida, scores may have appeared on FACTS b/c the high school code on the test booklet, answer sheet, was filled in. You are under no obligation to fill in a high school code. Also, for AP exam, if you choose to register as an individual via website, and not take test through your school, you are under no obligation to affiliate with the high school. You can report the scores as you see fit. Of course, you will pay the exam fee directly to CollBoard. Anyone can register for an AP exam, our high school doesn't like to acknowledge that, they prefer students don't self study (and not take the high school's classes) and the counselors give the impression that they and only they can do the registering and reporting. Here we lucky families pay for AP exams anyway, school districts and state do not, and most parents want control over the scores. I don't know about Florida, but here the high schools are required to 'count' the score when you've reported it to them. They also have counted the exam to fulfill the course requirement, which many districts have, that students take the AP exam if they are to receive course credit. Read the CB materials carefully, and know what you can do to present your student in the best light. |
