When do AP scores generally come out?

AP exams put me through the wringer and I'm eager to see my scores. Do we know when they generally get released and how to access them efficiently?

AP scores are usually released around the beginning of July, but the precise release date and time can vary from year to year. The College Board will typically send you an email notification to let you know when scores are available.

You can access your scores through the College Board's online AP portal. To log-in, you will need the College Board account username and password which you used to register for the AP exams. Remember, AP scores are released in a rolling fashion based on geographical location, so people in the Eastern states usually receive their scores before those in the West.

Privacy and security are also priorities, so if you require someone else (like a parent or a counselor) to access them on your behalf, you'll need to provide them with the necessary login credentials. Remember though, it's a good idea to keep these credentials confidential otherwise.

While it might feel agonizing to wait for these scores, try to keep in mind that you've done your part by studying and taking the exam. Now, it's just about being patient while the scores are processed and released. Good luck!
