<p>At one of our college visits, we were informed that many seniors’ AP test scores are not sent to the colleges before school starts, but that the kids get them earlier. We were informed to have student bring all AP results with them so they can be placed properly, and use them in scheduled classes.</p>
<p>this is very useful info.</p>
<p>a. always check to see if they are included on your transcript
b. always check with the college to see if transcript scores are sufficient</p>
<p>Since senior AP’s are taken the first week of May and you have most likely already committed to a school, you need to indicate at the time you take test that you want the scores sent to the school you will attend. That’s all it took for my son’s scores to make it to his school.</p>
<p>I should add, that my son’s school enrolled freshmen in mid-July. He was only worried at that time about placement. The remaining credits were granted during the first semester.</p>
<p>Harvard requires that final transcripts be sent by July 1. AP scores are sent out in mid-July. So students should not rely on the scores appearing on their final transcripts by the time they are due at their college.</p>
<p>Indicate on the day of the test where the scores should be sent (all scores will be reported). Make a copy of the score report that is sent to you and bring it to college in case the other reports is misfiled.</p>
