Yes, you have to order an AP score for any college to see your AP score. If you do not order an AP score and pay the fee to CollegeBoard to send the AP score to that particular college, they will not see your AP score.

There is a "chinese wall" (sorry for the figure of speech) between CollegeBoard and the 4300 colleges. Colleges can not access CB test scores unless you have written them down on your Common App to see or if you send an official score report to them via CollegeBoard.

Hope that answers your question.

Ok so if you don't do good on one and you don't want colleges to see that then they can't as long as you don't submit one?

Correct. If you spill the beans and self report on the common app, well that's on you. But you are in total control of the AP narrative.
