Query about AP Score Sending

I'm a bit unsure about how the score sending process for AP exams work. Can I select which scores to send to colleges, or do they all get sent automatically?

When you're sending your AP scores to colleges, you do have control over which scores you send. The College Board lets students send one free score report to one college of their choice, and this report will include all your scores. However, after you receive your scores, you can choose to send specific scores to additional colleges for a fee through their "Score Choice" feature.

However, remember that while you have the ability to do so, choosing to omit certain scores may not always be necessary. Many colleges may focus more on your AP coursework and grades when considering how rigorous your high school academic path has been. Also, colleges that offer credit for AP scores often only require a 4 or 5, and failing to meet that score will not necessarily reflect negatively in your application, particularly if you are not pursuing a major or minor in the subject area of that exam.

Additionally, some colleges may ask you to self-report all of your AP scores in the Common Application, Coalition Application, or their own applications and ask that those numbers be confirmed with an official report, in which case it would be in your best interest to be honest. So, while you certainly can use score choice to curate which of your scores are sent, it might not always be necessary for you to do so.
