Anne/Ankara Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It looks like the social security number is "optional" when the student shows up to take the AP test... (have I got that right?). So, would it be a good idea for the student to list the SSN or not? If you don't put it down, is there more chance of not getting the right test scored properly-- but if you do write it down, is there a chance of identity theft? What do all our seasoned veterans suggest? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Since it was optional, we decided not to include it. I do have to admit that I prefer to give out the number as infrequently as possible. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwen in VA Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 We left it blank. The IMPORTANT thing is: If you leave it blank this year, leave it blank for EVERY AP test from now on. If you fill it in, fill it in next year as well. A friend's son filled in the SS # one year and didn't the next and the inconsistancy totally messed up the AP filing system. She spent months trying to get her son's test scores from the AP folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
