Score reports include both this year’s and past AP Exam scores, along with certain demographic information about you and other information you provide during testing. Colleges, universities, and scholarship programs that you send your scores to may use your information to contact you about admissions and educational, financial aid, and scholarship opportunities. We also share with your school and district the names of the organizations you choose to send your AP Exam scores to.
FAQ
When will my college(s) receive my scores?
When you designate a college or university using your free score send by the June 20 deadline, your scores should be received by early July.
If you order additional score reports for a fee, your scores will be delivered to your designated score recipient in 3–5 days. The fee is $15 per report.
Please note this exception in June and July:
- If you order score reports between June 20, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. and July 1, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. ET, your order won’t be processed until July 1.
I can't find the college or university I would like to send my scores to through the online search when ordering additional score reports. What can I do?
Make sure to spell out the full name of the college or university you’re searching for and avoid using any abbreviations. For example, type in “University of Michigan” instead of “UMICH.” You may also use the college code to search for a college or university when ordering additional score reports online. You can contact the admissions or registrar office of the college or university you’re searching for to confirm the school's college code.
How will I know if my college received my scores?
If your college has given you a personal online account, you may be able to sign in to that site and see whether your scores have arrived. Otherwise, you can contact your college’s admission or registrar office and ask.
The AP score reporting system shows you what date your scores were sent to an institution, but it won’t tell you when the scores arrived or if the institution has processed the report data yet. Contact your college or university directly to confirm your scores were received.
Will my previous scores be included in my score report?
Yes. 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.
When you look at your online score report, check that it’s complete. Some scores may take longer to process because of later testing dates or other circumstances (e.g., late arrival of testing materials or extra time needed to match records). We’ll email you when your score is added to your score report.
If you notice that exams that you took last year or earlier are missing, it might be because you have multiple accounts. To resolve a multiple account issue, contact AP Services for Students. During score release in July, AP Services for Students will have longer than usual response times.
If you took your last AP Exam before 2018, your AP scores are no longer viewable in our online score reporting system. They have been archived and can only be sent to a college, university or scholarship program through a request made via mail or fax.
I sent my scores last year. Do I need to send them again to the same college?
If you haven’t taken any AP Exams since you sent your last official AP score report, then you probably don’t need to send your scores again.
You can see a history of all AP scores you’ve sent to colleges, universities, and scholarship programs by signing in to our AP student score reporting system and choosing to view Past Score Sends. Learn how to view your AP scores.
My last AP Exam was before 2018. How do I send my old scores?
If you took your last AP Exam before 2018, your scores are archived and you can’t view them in our online score reporting system. You can still send these scores to a college, university, or scholarship program, or get a score report sent to yourself, by submitting a form by mail or fax. Learn how.
Should I send scores to colleges before my senior year?
If you’re taking AP Exams as a junior or sophomore and you know you’ll be applying to a specific college, we suggest you use your one free score send to designate that college as a score recipient. You have until the June 20 deadline to use your free score send online. You can also request additional score sends online for a fee.
If you’re a senior entering college in the fall, check your college’s deadline for getting AP scores. We encourage you to send scores as soon as they’re available to make sure they’re received in time.
Remember that if you take an AP Exam in your senior year and designate a college to receive your scores, that college will receive your entire score report from all AP Exams you’ve taken throughout high school unless you have requested score(s) to be withheld or canceled.
What is an AP number and where can I find it?
If you last took AP Exams in 2019 or earlier, you received an AP number—a unique eight-digit number that served as your official identifier for the exam administration. We used the AP number to associate you with your scores. You received a different AP number in your AP Student Pack each year you took AP Exams. Your AP number can be found on the downloadable PDF version of your score report in AP Scores for Students. If you can’t find your AP number, contact AP Services for Students using the information listed below.
AP ID replaced the AP number in 2020. (See What is an AP ID?).
Which browsers work best for creating a College Board account, joining my class section in My AP, using the AP Classroom resources, and viewing and sending scores?
We recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Safari. The latest versions of Firefox and Edge are also supported.
Do colleges look at AP Exam scores when deciding whether to admit an applicant?
Check the admissions websites of the colleges that interest you to see if sending your official scores will help support your application. In general, colleges want to see that you’re taking the most rigorous coursework available to you. By enrolling in AP courses, you demonstrate that you’re interested in challenging yourself and learning at a college level.
