my sister hasn't gotten hers, she says they're supposed to arrive mid-july.
Gigi
Jul 7 2008, 08:58 PM
They get mailed to you mid-July.
You can call and get your results earlier if you wish, but (I think) you have to pay $15.
xbanana
Jul 7 2008, 09:39 PM
no its about 8-10 bucks.
which is so NOT worth it.
there are people on soompi
who are from california and got theirs.
but they did not specify which part -.-

I was really tempted to pay the fee and get them early early this month, but there's only approximately a week left to wait. So..

I'll wait it out.
Joannnnnne
Jul 7 2008, 11:17 PM
According to the website, you pay $8 every time you call to get your results.
Anyone know how much it would be to get your AP marks sent to your college/university again? The university I'm going to never got my AP Psych exam mark... an exam I took in grade 11. = ='' Stupid bastards.
Gigi
Jul 7 2008, 11:17 PM
Probably $15 CND though.
Joannnnnne
Jul 7 2008, 11:31 PM
And I just found the answer to my question.

You may also send your AP grades by phone for a fee of $15 per college, beginning July 4.
Freaking $15 for their mistake? UGHHH!!

Jul 7 2008, 11:34 PM
^ uh..when you took the test did you mark down which colleges you wanted your score(s) to be sent to?
Joannnnnne
Jul 7 2008, 11:35 PM
Yes, I did. I'm totally sure of it too, because I wrote down a reminder for myself on which school I sent it to somewhere else.

Jul 8 2008, 12:43 AM
ohh. then that is weird o.O you should call collegeboard....if they dont charge you simply to call that is -.-
i swear collegeboard charges for every little thing.
and they're ridiculously overpriced.
Joannnnnne
Jul 8 2008, 12:50 AM
Yeah, I just sent an email to them asking them to send it to my university without charging me anything (since it's their fault). I should get an answer in two days...

What if you're a junior and have no idea where you're going? I hate how they let you send scores to schools for free when you take the test, then when you actually know where you're going you have to pay.
xbanana
Jul 8 2008, 06:59 PM
YES! i agree -___- well i have an idea of some of the schools i want to go to, so i'll be sending my SAT scores from now on.
so seems like seattle area and norcal have gotten their scores. anybody in socal got their scores yet?

I GOT MINES YESTERDAY.
I was not satisfied. Oh well. I did not get a 3 on either of my 2 AP testings.
venti-anemoi
Jul 9 2008, 12:20 AM
I GOT MINE!!!
I was really happy with my calc and bio scores, and ehh with my japanese score. During the free response typing part of the japanese test, everyone's computer started typing in english instead of converting it to japanese, and everyone was like O_O WTF?! haha so yeah, they said they'd project our final scores off of our multiple choice section alone, but they didn't :( which really lowered everyone's score. But I still got a 3, so I'm pretty relieved. I thought I'd get like a 2 or something. XD
xbanana
Jul 9 2008, 03:05 PM
FINALLY! me, from socal, finally got my scores.
ap us history - 4
ap language - 3
i was hoping for a 5 and 4 since my GPA sucks, but i'm still satisfied. i didn't get a 2 on lang and i qualify for ap scholar award :]

Where do you guys live? I still haven't gotten mine yet. D;
Joannnnnne
Jul 9 2008, 04:15 PM
I haven't gotten mine yet either! I know my university got this year's batch a couple days ago, and it'll take them a week or so to put them all in the computers. Hope they don't mess and screw a bunch of people over again. = =''
I'm really nervous.

^ Didn't you two graduated already? Why are you two still worry about AP scores? Shouldn't you get your University Colleges acceptance letters already since Spring?
Gigi
Jul 9 2008, 05:18 PM
I suppose I don't really need to worry since acceptance isn't a problem., but if I get my 96% (equivalent to a 5), I can have a little wiggle room for my English mark, and I would have a higher chance of getting $4000 versus $2000. Scholarships FTW!
Also, I'm deathly afraid of failure. It's my pride that will hurt too.

My worst nightmares are all about getting C's. After waking up, I can never get back to sleep.

5 on chinese, actually not what I expected. I totally f**ked myself up in the oral part (I wrote a whole spiel about it in another AP test thread) but I guess it turned out alright! The test asked to talk about a city in China and its significance etc etc--what comes to mind? BEIJING RIGHT? Except I was a complete idiot and tried to talk about Shanghai. And by try I mean completely failed; I assumed I'd get a 4 or 3 depending on how well the fobs did. IM SO HAPPY :D :D :D

I really want a 4 or 5 on my AP Calculus exam so I won't have to take calculus again.
But I'll be happy with a 3.

I got a 3.
AT LEAST I DIDN'T GET A 1!!!!

Wait, you don't get credit if you get a 3?
Congrats, by the way! :]

4 is the minimum for me to 'skip' the 100-level math courses in university.

Always a plus. :]
Oh damn. BUT if it's for some random class that I'm not planning to take in college (like japanese) then does it really matter if I get a 3?
Joannnnnne
Jul 11 2008, 11:31 PM
Oh no, I don't think it should matter then.
... but where I live, we have to take provincial exams to get into the universities in BC. If we don't do well in our provincials, they accept our AP marks in replacement... so it'd be a MAJOR plus if I did well. Oh well.
venti-anemoi
Jul 11 2008, 11:48 PM
Provincial exams?.........oh, you live in Canada. haha I didn't get what BC meant for a minute there.
Does it go the other way too? Like, if you did well in provincials, then would they ignore your AP scores and let you not have to take the class?
Joannnnnne
Jul 11 2008, 11:52 PM
No, because the provincial exams can be for ANY course. It's just for admission. AP exams are used for both admission and credits for specific classes.

Ahh, that sucks. :(
I don't think we usually have exams for admissions. I might like that better than doing all the SATs and stuff, though. Do you guys have to do that too?
Joannnnnne
Jul 11 2008, 11:59 PM
Nope, no SATs!! =D
From what I've heard, it's pretty freaking hard. My friend took it twice because he applied for universities in the states, and he had a lot of trouble with the vocabulary section. Apparently they just give you words out of context, and you have to figure out what it means? Harsh!
venti-anemoi
Jul 12 2008, 12:07 AM
I'm not sure I remember any of those kinds of questions, but there might've been some like "A synonym of ______ is a) b) c) d) e)" But most of the time they're not like that; they usually give you a sentence or passage instead and say "the underlined word has the same/opposite meaning as a) b) c) d) e)"
I think. (._.) Or my memory might be going prematurely. I like to forget about unpleasant things.
But back on topic :D
APs actually made the end of my junior year easier, 'cause we didn't actually do anything in those classes after AP classes. XD
Joannnnnne
Jul 12 2008, 12:10 AM
I know, right! After the AP calculus exam, everyone just talked or played games in class. I'm pretty sure everyone would've skipped if it wasn't for my (awesome) teacher threatening to teach another lesson if 3+ people were absent.

Jul 12 2008, 12:12 AM
My teacher taught new stuff anyway. <_< It wasn't really hard, though, and actually kind of fun. :D

They give you a grade based on the AB portion of your BC exam.
At first I was a little angry at myself, but I feel a little better.
A 3's good enough to place me into multivariable.
