I never realized that AP scores were sent as a bundle. EASY DECISION NOT TO SEND! Thanks for this video!!

This is actually a great video. I wasn't too sure if I should send my Ap scores to colleges. I have 3 3s, 3 4s, and 2 5s. Im apply to almost 20 colleges and didn't want to send my ap scores to all of them as it would cost too much. Now I think I can just apply and pick the school I'm interested in and then send my ap exam score.

Glad it was helpful, Jibran!

Great advice! I was thinking i should send my AP scores as long as I received a 3. After watching this, i understood that this is not the best approach to maximize my chances of getting in.

Hope College Board and state legislators are paying attention. College Board should establish year round testing centers so students aren’t limited by their school’s selection process re AP courses, which often includes favoritism. Also, highly motivated students could take a course outside their brick and mortar school and reliably be able to test their ability. Kids who are motivated to take accredited advanced coursework are too often penalized because finding a test center is met with roadblocks of “no room in the inn” for outside school testers. How many motivated kids are held back by the overly restrictive testing dates. Imagine how many kids would choose alternate date testing, including kids who felt unreasonably barred from an AP course.

Excellent advice. Sharing with my daughter now.

There are kids who would soar through college level content if the high school level SAT subject tests weren’t available as verification they are, minimally, on par at a high school level. Many kids can cross this threshold in middle school. Presently the testing system holds back highly motivated kids in the US, and, consequently, more kids aiming high academically at a younger age. As a homeschool parent, it’s tough to feel helpless when the main obstacle is finding a test center, though students in brick and mortar schools would also benefit nay not being exposed to the risk they aren’t “the chosen ones” in the “who gets in this or that AP course” game that inherently suppresses self motivated early success.

Very helpful information!!!

very insightful thank you

You're welcome! Glad it helped! :)

Never. Just ace all the exams so you don’t have to hide any of your scores.

What if I self-studied all my Aps (4 of them), and I got 4,4,4, and a 3. I also took some classes at a university (not the one I am going to) as social non-degree student and got 12 credits. (My GPA there is 3.6), should I send that transcript to the college I am applying to?

So you can't cherrypick which AP scores you want to send in?
