You need to log-in to your College Board account and pay to have your AP scores (unless sending them to Wor-Wic – they will usually take the unofficial copy you can download from college board – but check with them).  If you took an AP test this year and put your college on the registration when you signed up for the test, then you will not have to pay to send them as the send cost was including in the AP fees and they will send ALL AP scores for all your tests over the years.
