This is just a warning for everyone:
I had read all of the info the Princeton gave us (both online and by snail mail) about AP scores and how we needed to have a cumulative report sent to them. Well, I assumed that since I wrote "Princeton" on my score sheet for this year's tests, they would be receiving a score report with all of my scores, including this year's and last year's (the only 2 years I took AP exams). However, just to be sure that Princeton had received my scores electronically, I called AP Services.
The nice man on the phone told me that Princeton was listed as my recipient school, but only on this year's tests; Princeton would not receive a cumulative report because I had not put it down on last year's tests (well...of course not!
). Unlike the SATs & SAT IIs, AP score reports are apparently not cumulative, just year-by-year; I had assumed that they were cumulative. This assumption was wrong, and I had to pay $15 to send a 2006 & 2007 score report to Princeton, which should arrive within 5 business days - no biggie.
Am I the only one who assumed what I assumed? And I imagine I am not the only one who would rather die than give the College Boad more money!!!
I just thought I should put this out there in case any of you made the same mistake I did.
