Your archived AP score report will be sent by first-class mail to the institution(s) you designated on the AP Archived Score Request form within 15 business days of receipt of your request (overnight/express mailing service is not available).

Standard: Your scores will be delivered to your designated score recipient in 7–14 days. The exact number of days depends on when you submit your request and the location of your score recipient. The fee is $15 per report.

If your college has given you a personal online account, you may be able to sign in to that site and see whether your scores have arrived. Otherwise, you can contact your college's admission office and ask.

Some scores may take longer to process because of later testing dates or other circ*mstances (e.g., late arrival of testing materials or extra time needed to match records).

Download and fill out the AP Archived Score Request Form.

Fill out the form with your information and the name and code of each institution you want to send your scores to, and sign the form.

If you decide to wait, you can send your scores online after June 20 for a $15 fee.

The College Board sends one free AP score report to one college per year. Students can also send AP scores to colleges online, by mail, or by fax. The College Board's My AP tool offers access to score report requests. Students can choose to withhold or cancel unfavorable AP scores on the report.

It's easiest and most cost-effective to send your scores to a college using your free score send—you have until the June 20 deadline. If you decide to wait, you can send your scores online after June 20 for a $15 fee. In general, you should send your scores no later than July of your senior year of high school.

Collegeboard estimates in their receipt email that scores get sent 7-14 days after the order is placed, and I placed my order before that timeline.

We'll email you when your score is added to your score report. If you don't receive your scores by August 15, contact AP Services for Students. If you designated a college or university score recipient in My AP, that institution will receive the scores that were available at the time the score report was generated.

How fast can College Board send scores? ›

The College Board sends your SAT score report to schools within 10 days after your scores become available. Recipients may need an additional week to confirm they received your scores. You can send scores after submitting a college application if your scores arrive before the application deadline.

The first thing that you should do is check the AP Score credit policy for the colleges that you are applying to. If they will give you credit for the 3, then by all means report it! On the other hand, if they only give credit for a 5 on that exam (not even for a 4), you may want to hold off.

Calculus AB

This college-level calculus course is considered the hardest AP class by many students. You'll study differential equations, integral calculus, and mathematical theorems in AP Calculus AB.

If you're taking AP Exams as a junior or sophom*ore and you know you'll be applying to a specific college, we suggest you use your one free score send to designate that college as a score recipient. You have until the June 20 deadline to use your free score send online.

And if your scores are on your application, admissions committees will see them. Similarly, if you have any low AP scores you'd prefer admissions committees not see, you don't have to (and shouldn't) report them on your application.

Sending your AP exam score to colleges is optional.

If your exam score is eligible for credit, self-report it on the college application and send the official report through the CollegeBoard. Never report or send an exam score of a 1 or 2. They are not considered “passing” scores.

Colleges typically ask students to self-report their AP scores on applications. As a result, they will see any scores you choose to report (and won't see any you choose not to report).

But what is a passing AP score? The College Board considers a score of 3 or higher a passing grade. That said, some colleges require a 4 or 5 to award credit. Whether a 3 is a good AP score depends on the colleges you're applying to.

You, the college, university, or scholarship program you designated using your free score send, and educators in your school and district, including your AP teachers, will automatically receive your scores once they're released.
