Hey guys, first time AP test-taker here. I'm from the Class of 2024 and I've got this question swirling in my mind, when do our AP scores get released? Any info would be massively appreciated!
Sure, happy to guide you through this! The College Board usually starts releasing AP scores in early July. That's typically when students who took the exams in May of the same year can start checking their scores. However, the specific release date can vary slightly each year.
Another important point to make is that AP scores are not released all at once. The College Board typically uses a staggered release schedule that's based on your physical location. So, the actual date when you can first access your scores largely depends on where you were when you tested.
You can view your scores by logging in to your College Board account. However, remember that the exact time and day can fluctuate, so it's always a good idea to keep a close eye on the College Board website or their official social media for the most accurate updates about score release timing and dates.
Remember, though, that these AP exam scores are more for you to gain college credit or place out of certain introductory classes, and less about college applications. Most colleges care more about the fact you took the AP course and did well in it, rather than what score you got on the test. And in terms of the application review process, they're typically less important than other factors, like your transcript or SAT/ACT scores.
