Sending AP Test Scores to Colleges

Hey everyone, I'm preparing for college applications and wondering about AP scores. How do I send my AP test scores to the colleges I'm applying to? Do I have to do it myself, or is there an automatic process for this?

Hi there! For sending your AP test scores to colleges, you'll need to do it through the College Board. During the registration process for an AP exam, you have the option to provide a four-digit college code for the college of your choice, granting them access to your AP scores. If you didn't provide a college code during registration or you wish to send your scores to additional colleges, you can send them at a later time.

To send your scores after the registration process, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Go to the College Board website and sign in to your account.

2. Navigate to "My AP", then click on "Send Scores" or "My Scores".

3. Type in the exact name of the college you want to send your scores to, select it from the list that appears, and add it to the recipient's list.

4. Repeat this process for any additional colleges.

5. Once all the colleges you want to send your scores to are on the recipient's list, proceed to the checkout process.

Keep in mind that there will be a fee for sending scores to additional colleges or after a certain deadline. Be sure to check the College Board website for details and deadlines pertaining to sending AP scores.

It's also worth noting that not all colleges require official AP score reports during the application process; some only need them if you are accepted and wish to receive college credit. You can check each college's specific AP score submission policies on their website, or reach out to their admissions office for more information. Good luck with your college applications!
