If you cancel, the score won’t be sent to any colleges, but you don’t have an opportunity to know what your score is prior to cancellation. Your high school will be sent a notification that you cancelled the score.

Another option is to withhold scores. For this option, your test is scored and you will know what the score is. You may withhold scores from colleges by paying a fee of $10 per score per college - in addition to the regular fee for reporting scores. If you receive a 3 on an AP, you may want to report it to a safety where you might receive credit, but not to a reach where it might detract from the rest of your application. Withholding permits you to do this.

For more information see the collegeboard website or your AP booklet.
