[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does one "self report" AP scores?[/quote]

There's a place on the Common App for self reporting scores. Some also self report SAT 2s since there are many schools who don't require them so kids who have taken them and done well can include them on the Common App. I think it's pretty common to include AP scores on the common app. My DC included them, although had all 5s and 4s. I would not self report 3s so then it's questionable whether reporting only the 4s and 5s will raise more questions since the colleges will be able to see that the kid has taken more AP courses.[/quote]

OP here.  So what would be more questionable - not reporting the scores at all, reporting only the 4s and 5s, or reporting them all?[/quote]

Reporting only 4s and 5s would be more questionable IMO, but I think you need some advice from your DCs counselor on this question.

It also depends how your DC did in the classes. If he got an A in the class and a 3 on the test you definitely don't want to report it since it will raise an obvious question about the rigor of the grading.[/quote]

Okay, so what does getting a 4 on the AP for a course that DC got a B in say?[/quote]

That the grading is in line with the AP test results. An A or B grade should result in a 4 or 5 score. A B could result in a 3. An A should not result in a 3. [/quote]

This seems about right, my child earned a 5 (top 6 percent in that particular exam) in an AP course for which their grade was a B+[/quote]
