Sending AP Scores

I'm a transfer student - I took these exams a while ago, so today I called their number to have my scores sent out. Their office was closed, so I went on their site, and it said:

"To request that your score reports be sent to colleges, call (888) 308-0013 [...] on or after July 4."

What???? Anyone able to send their scores already? Or is it just because I called after 4 pm EST?

I heard there offices are closed since they are grading ap tests. I have a question. I sent my AP scores to Berkeley from high school...so it already shows my AP scores on myberkeleyapp. Does this mean they have them? (this has the potential to be a stupid question.)

Yeah, you'll just have to wait till July4. No big, I'm sure you can get them rush delivered to meet the July15 deadline. At least that is my plan >.<

Hmm, ok, but what if you have scores from around 4 years ago? (2003-2004)

The site says you need a fill out a form and send in a paper request because it's archived... but I've also heard that score reports are cumulative and contain every test you've ever taken, so I'm kinda confused.

Plus, on the form, it only has space to list one exam from 4 years past, and for each form you've gotta pay $25... rip off?

Anyone have any experience with this who could help me out?

You can also contact your high school to see if they list the official AP scores on their records. If so, contact your University campus to see if they will accept the scores off of your high school record; UC Davis will. Then you can simply submit your high school record with the official scores.
If the school does not list the scores, ask them if they will list them for you.

My high school didn't have my AP exam scores in their records...

@gbngosn - I'm in the same situation! So I filled out the Archived AP Grades Request Form, but I don't remember my AP number. I've heard that the Social Security Number can be used in lieu of the AP number, so I called their office to confirm it...but the office was closed down. Does anyone know if the Social Security Number can be used to replace the AP number?

Oh, and I also agree that $25 per form is such a ripoff! Hopefully, we can put more than one AP exam per Request Form...

Is it a requirement to send these scores even if you don't want credit for them?

I called and spoke with 3 different people at Berkeley about not sending them if they are not being used for credit, and I got remarkably weak, if not confused, answers always starting with "Oh yes, you should always report them;" but, when I explained my situation (not using the scores for credit, didn't list them on my application, the scores weren't sent to my CC, any class they would have replaced have been taken), the representatives backtracked for a bit as if they didn't know and were rummaging through some drawer for the corresponding policy in their office only to come back empty handed, consequentially drawing-out that same, initial, stock-answer, "Yes, everyone should."

Try calling them tomorrow -- you may be more successful.

AP tests with passing scores are considered College/University level units/credit. As a transfer student you must report all College/University level units/credits must be officially reported. You cannot choose which units/credits you want to transfer or use for credit; if you College/University units/Credit have them they must be reported.
