<p>I understand this question belongs in the AP forums, but it’s had no luck there. I would really really appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this matter:</p>
<p>About cancelling AP tests (deadline was today)–if a student was to cancel his or her exam, do the official score reports that the COLLEGE’S see, still state that the exam was taken, and instead of the score, put something like, “Grade cancelled?”</p>
<p>Or is the test erased from the record completely? Because if it was the above scenario, what would be the point of cancelling?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that all evidence that the test was ever taken is erased, but colleges won’t necessarily assume that you got a bad grade just because you cancelled the score. Maybe something went wrong, like a calculator malfunction, or maybe you simply missed the test altogether.</p>

<p>However, most colleges do not ask for the official score report for APs until you are already accepted (then you have to send the official report to get credit/placement, but a bad grade at that point can not hurt you in any way, so canceling it is a waste of money). Usually the most colleges ask for is self-reported grades, and you can report only the once you want them to see.</p>
