AP Test Score Dates and Access

Hey, can someone give me the rundown on when AP test scores are released and how I can access them? I'd like to know the best way to check my scores when they're out.

Sure! AP test scores are usually released in early July, with specific release dates varying based on your location within the United States. The College Board announces the exact release dates as the time approaches, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on their website or social media channels for any updates.

To access your AP test scores, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Visit the College Board website (collegeboard.org), and log into your student account. If you haven't created an account yet, you'll need to do so to access your scores.

2. Once you're logged in, navigate to your "My AP Profile" or "AP Scores" section.

3. In this section, you'll be able to view your AP test scores as soon as they're released. AP scores are reported on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest.

Also, a note regarding score availability: If your school uses a different website or platform, like Naviance, they might upload your AP scores there as well. You can check with your school counselor to confirm if scores will be available through another platform if you're having trouble accessing them via the College Board website.

Remember that in some cases, college admissions offices may request your official AP test scores directly from the College Board, depending on the institution's policies. If you think you'll need to send your scores to colleges, you can do this through the "Send Scores" option on the College Board website, usually for a fee. Many colleges now allow self-reporting with the application. However, if you decide to use any of your AP scores for college credit or to meet prerequisites, you'll likely need to send official score reports.

Good luck, and I hope your AP test scores are what you're hoping for!
