Ann.without.an.e Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I know a few here have done it. How does it work for transcripts? Doesn't the score archive after 5 years? DD (going into 7th) wants to take AP Human Geo. She loves Geography and she is a strong writer. I think she can probably handle it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbeltmom Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I listed it on the transcript with no problems. Unlike SAT scores, the AP scores from exams taken in middle school will remain on the student's AP account and will not be archived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKS Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 My son did not take AP classes before high school, but he did take high school classes in middle school. I had a code on the transcript that indicated that the course was a "high school course taken in middle school" and my school profile (in a section called "Credits") said "Consistent with [name of local school district] policy, high school courses completed during middle school are identified on the transcript and are given high school credit, and their grades are included in the GPA." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleroses Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard AP classes aren't counted until high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard AP classes aren't counted until high school. For a course to be listed with the AP label on the transcript, AP must approve it through their course audit process. AP says that it will not approve the AP label for a course prior to 9th grade. However, you can just say the course is "Human Geography with AP exam" for example, instead of "AP Human Geography" on your transcript. Here's the official AP policy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbeltmom Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard AP classes aren't counted until high school. Different colleges have different policies on which AP exams, if any, they will grant college credit for. I have never seen any stipulations on the college policies I have looked at that state that if the AP exam is taken before high school, that credit won't be granted if that credit would be granted for the class if the exam were taken in high school. The purpose of the transcript is to communicate to colleges the student's course of study. The class my son took was a College Board AP approved class, and I indicated it as such on his transcript. I organize my kids' transcripts by subject, but I also indicate their ages when they complete each course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
