[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you cancel a score, the official AP score report will state that the test score was cancelled by student.  So the college will know you took the AP exam but chose to cancel the score. [/quote]

I don’t think that’s right for the score report the colleges see. Once cancelled, it’s permanently removed from CB records. But if you used the free score report, you need to cancel it before a set date.  [/quote]

CB says: “The Student Datafile and Student Score Report both contain the full AP Exam taking history for a student across multiple exam administrations. If a score is delayed or canceled, the student exam record in these two reports will include any event codes and event descriptions indicating either a delay or cancellation. All other reports only include scores that have been released, that is, not delayed or canceled.”[/quote]

That’s different than what the colleges see:

From CB: “Your score report includes all your scores from all the AP Exams you took in the past. Your entire score history will be sent to your designated college, university, or scholarship program unless you choose to withhold or cancel any of your scores.”

DP How I interpret the quote above is that your score history will not include the cancelled score. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that your event history will be wiped, right?[/quote]

Yes, but you don’t report the entire event history to schools, you report available scores. Colleges don’t have unlimited access to the entire record. [/quote]
