| My son's online College Board account has his SAT and PSAT scores, but not his two APs from freshman year. We were living in at a different address when he took those, but obviously his Social Security number was the same. Who do I have to write to to get those scores linked up?

AP scores appear on a different report and are sent separately (with an additional fee, of course). They're not listed on the SAT/PSAT report.
I don't think AP scores are accessible on-line.

| You only need to send your AP report once, and that is to the school that Fang, Jr will attend. If he takes AP exams in his Sr year, he can specify that his report go to one school, for free.

| For Fang Jr, who is homeschooled, the AP test results will be part of the application. His scores should help validate the academic work he did at home.

I meant the official report. Many kids, not just HSers, self report their AP scores. Schools trust the self reporting. Presumably if someone lies, they will recind.
I didnt send AP reports to any of the schools my son applied, and since the school he chose does not give credit, I never will.

Both of my kids did send their AP scores to their colleges with their applications. It's expensive for each score report (I want to say $15 a report, but it might be more - my mind is MIA tonight), but since both kids had excellent AP scores, I thought they were worth sending, even though you can self-report them on some application forms. I think it did help both kids, at least a bit. Whether you need to send them is another question - I have seen some colleges require homeschool students to submit them, especially LACs.
You can't order them sent online - you have to call the AP 800 number. It is on the College Board website under "AP exams." Allow three weeks for them to arrive.

I think that's an excellent strategy, and I think that in your case sending the official score reports would be a good idea. Seems to me that the more things they have in hand that are nailed down, the better. (Of course, for the sake of your wallet, I hope Fang Jr doesn't apply to TOO many schools.  )

CardinalFang,
You can include copies of the AP score reports with the applications;
save the Official Copy for after enrollment when they translate into credits.
