How can we let college know the official AP test score?

<p>I heard that during AP test, you can only choose one college to send the score, and College Board does not provide the service to send your score to any college even if you would like to pay them. Is this true?</p>

<p>Then when we apply college, if we apply multiple colleges, how can we let each college know the official AP test score?</p>

<p>During your college application process, your college liasion office or AP co-ordinator will give you your AP number and your details so you can send the APs to colleges.</p>

<p>Each college will receive ALL scores from ALL APs taken so far for $20. The total price will be the number of colleges you choose to send to multiplied by $20. If you already sent the score report via the AP exam then there is no need to send them again unless you sent the sophomore/freshmen year reports, and want them to see the junior year APs as well.</p>

<p>Upon taking the AP exam you may choose one college per AP to receive a score report of all your APs ever taken. You may cancel this request for $15, but only before you yourself receive the score report. This means that the Collegeboard releases the exam scores to you and the college you indiciated in the exam at the same time.</p>

<p>You can send your AP scores to almost any college (even foreign ones!). Call the College Board AP number, 888-225-5427. You have to call – this is not something you can do online. I think they charge $15 - $20 per college. Very simple process. Note that I do not think you can pick and choose which APs the College Board sends, but you should ask about that.</p>

<p>However, what Equuleus and placido240 said is correct (I think it’s $20)</p>

<p>To Equuleus:</p>

<p>I am still confused: by the time we apply college, we can get all the AP detail from AP coordinator, then it is ourselves to send all these AP detail to college, or we ask college board to send all our AP test scores?</p>

<p>It is up to you to send the AP scores to the colleges. Call the number posted by placido240 above and pay the fees and the College Board will send your scores. Your “AP Coordinator” or your school will not do this. It is completely up to you, otherwise the collges will never know “Officially” what your AP grades were.</p>

<p>Most college decisions are based on a lot of other factors besides AP scores, however. Your GPA and SAT scores will carry much more weight than they do. Many schools only consider the actual scores for either credit or placement once you are accepted. Of course, if a student took a bunch of AP tests but only got 1s and 2s on all of them, it would be bad, but in that case, I’m not sure that many colleges would look at them, unless they were self-reported.</p>

<p>But, I agree with everyone else…it’s really your responsibility to make sure that College Board sends your scores to where you want them to go. (and follow through to make sure your school gets them, especially after the final scores are received in the summer before your freshman year at college).</p>
