sheryl Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just wondering. Is it necessary? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If you want your student to take the SAT or SAT subject tests - yes. That's how registration is handled. Not sure about AP tests; tests are handled through the school, but designed by CB. If you want to have syllabi approved by CB, you need an account. Otherwise, no reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think we needed it for CLEP registration as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 To get AP scores, you need to be signed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 College Board also handles the CSS/Profile financial aid assessment. Students register for AP and PSAT directly through the high school where they will take the test, but scores are delivered online via the College Board account.

MarkT Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 lesson learned - create an alternate email account and use that when you register - DS got a lot of junk email 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 lesson learned - create an alternate email account and use that when you register - DS got a lot of junk email I've heard this a few times, but it wasn't our experience. Neither kid got junk mail that could be attributed to the College Board. Neither took the SAT either though (ACT country) so maybe that is the trigger. They did have PSAT, CLEP, and AP scores.

Luckymama Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 DdTheYoungest has received maybe 5-6 unsolicited emails or snail mailings. She selects the 'do not share my info' choice on all forms. She also does not have a completely filled-in CB (or ACT, for that matter) profile, just the required items. She has taken SAT, SAT subject tests, PSAT twice, APs, and ACT. We have learned from her brother's experience :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
