avdelp Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Just thought I 'd let everyone know that I called the college board today and just to see if they might have the AP test scores available early and THEY DID! You just need your child's AP number from the AP booklet they were given when they took the tests. Of course, you also need a credit card so you can pay the $8 fee. The $8 covers the results for all the tests your student took--you don't have to pay $8 per test. The phone results are an automated service, so you should be able to call anytime to get your scores. My dd got a 5 on US History and a 4 on English Literature--we're thrilled!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Congratulations to your son on his fine scores! We're cheap (or should I say penurious?) people, so we'll wait for the mail to receive my daughter's score. Waiting ....

MBH Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Alicia, Congratulations to you and your daughter for a job well done! May I ask which textbooks/prep-books she used for both exams? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle in AL Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Laurie, that is an amazing feat! If you don't mind me asking, what other classes did your son take, and how many hours a week did he put into his AP classwork? Congrats to your son and Danielle's dd and Advelp's dd too!

If you don't mind me asking, what other classes did your son take, and how many hours a week did he put into his AP classwork? Congrats to your son and Danielle's dd and Advelp's dd too! Michele, My son did not take any specific AP courses. Actually, the course he completed before taking the AP exams was Sonlight's British Literature so he didn't really spend "x" amount of hours per day studying for the exams he took. To be perfectly honest, his decision to take the AP exams was made in March and we scrambled to find a school that would accommodate him. We've used Sonlight throughout the high school years and ds credits using a literature approach for his retention. Japanese Language started off with Rosetta Stone and advanced to a private tutor using college level texts. He continues his Japanese studies independently using Japanese history texts and novels, plus online news videos and text articles in Japanese. Also note that the subjects of the exams he took were high interest areas for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkholland Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 For those of us who just can't spend the $8...when do scores come and how?? My ds took two AP exams this year and I have no idea if the scores get mailed or do we get an email?? I can't seem to find that info on the college board site.... Thanks!

Kathy in Richmond Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 The scores will arrive by mail any day now. I had them by mid-July last year. There's no way to get them online, btw. ~Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Kareni - I am in awe of anyone who can withstand the wait, or should I say who can withstand the apprehensive atmosphere that permeates through air.... The wait is over. We're celebrating the score of FIVE! that my daughter received on her AP Statistics exam. (Thank you Carole Matheny for the fine AP Statistics class you taught through PA Homeschoolers!)

readwithem Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Kareni, we're practical like you - we'll wait to *see* the results rather than pay to *hear* them. ;) For those committed to a specific college where you sent your scores, I've heard you can access your scores on your college website. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
