Taking Multiple AP Exams

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>So I’m a sophomore and this is my first time taking more than one AP exam (actually, 3). I know that there are two information sections on the AP exam, the blue one and the purple one. One of those are supposed to be filled out for every exam and the other one is just supposed to be filled out once. The problem is that I’m taking exams in multiple places. My school doesn’t offer AP Computer Science, so I’m taking that at another school, and the other two I’m taking at my regular school. APCS comes first, but that’s not being taken at my school, its at another school. Would I do that long fill-out-once section on the APCS one, or on the first one that I actually take at my school? Oh and, do you only get one score report to send for free on exam day regardless of how many exams you take, because I remember that part being in the fill-out-once section?</p>

<p>Yeah I also have a question about APs. I’m a freshman and I’m taking four exams; some not at my school. How do I get the exams sent to my school? Is their a code I use or something. Thanks</p>

<p>Hi xz1244!</p>

<p>First off, kudos for taking 3 APs as a sophomore! I took two last year as a sophomore so I know a bit about the process. I would first and foremost ask your proctor about the information section. Presuming that the other school is in the same district, I would think that they would coordinate. Also, they are all being sent to the College Board, so perhaps it does not matter who sends it. Nevertheless, it never hurts to ask the administrators. </p>

<p>Your score report will include the scores from all of your exams. You can send one for free to the university of your choice. However, as a sophomore, I would recommend that you bubble “no selection” or the like for that box. First off, you will probably change your mind about the colleges you would like to apply to before senior year. Second, if you don’t get the score you wanted, you have then already sent it to your school of choice. Whether AP scores make a difference in admissions is debatable, but unless you are confident and are set on a school, I wouldn’t bother selecting one. Just my advice. :)</p>
