<p>This is just a warning for everyone:</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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!!! ;)</p>

<p>I just thought I should put this out there in case any of you made the same mistake I did.</p>

<p>This link says otherwise…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>can someone confirm?</p>

<p>Princeton will mail something to you at the beginning of the year specifying which AP scores they have received and which ones they can give you advanced standing credit for.</p>

<p>OK, so, ignore everything I said. I was looking at the Student Pack again, and noticed the exact words that gxing quoted. I called AP Services back and they said that “the score report had been mailed and I could not get my money back.” Obviously, it’s not just the $15 but the principle of the matter.</p>

<p>I apologize to anyone who followed my advice and plan to think of this as just another reason to hate the College Board! ;)</p>

<p>So if we put down Princeton on our exams, will they get the scores??</p>
