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. If you're a senior entering college in the fall, check your college's deadline for getting AP scores.

You can request that the AP Program withhold one or more AP Exam scores from any college, university, or scholarship program that you chose as a score recipient. The score will be withheld from any future score reports sent to that college, university, or scholarship program.

Scores can be canceled at any time, but for scores not to be sent to the college or university you designated using your free score send, AP Services for Students must receive your request by June 15 of the year you took the AP Exam.

Your AP results should be available by mid-July. However, there are times when there are delays. If you haven't received your AP scores by September 1, the College Board recommends contacting AP services for students for assistance.

Fill out the Multiple-Choice Rescore Service Form and return it by October 31 of the year you took the AP Exam(s). Rescores may result in higher or lower scores than first reported, or no change at all. Results are final and will automatically be re-reported to all designated score recipients if there was a change.

Your score report contains scores from all of the AP Exams you have ever taken. Your college will only use those scores that meet the minimum required score to receive credit or placement. You do have the option to withhold a score from a particular college, or cancel a score altogether.

In fact, many colleges and universities even offer credit or advanced placement for scores of 4.

If you have consistently high grades but low test scores, this can indicate to colleges that there's grade inflation at your high school. However, because you're probably going to self-report your AP scores anyway, there's nothing wrong with simply not reporting one or two scores you're not satisfied with.

Should I cancel my AP score of 2? ›

For top colleges, your course rigor and the grades you get in those courses are what really count. So, if you didn't get the results you wanted, don't sweat it too much. Rather than cancel, you might consider just not reporting the score.

Colleges generally care more about the rigor of your coursework and your grades than your AP exam scores. A strong grade in an AP class demonstrates your ability to handle rigorous coursework, which is what colleges value most, even if your grade on the exam was poor.

As mentioned, you have the option to withhold or cancel your AP scores, and you may choose to do so if you did not score well on the exam. Withholding your scores prevents them from being reported to the colleges you selected; colleges will not even know that you took the exam at all.

Hello! Makeup AP scores are typically released a bit later than the regular exam scores. While the exact date may vary slightly depending on the year and circ*mstances, generally makeup scores come out about a week or two after the initial release of regular AP scores.

Universities should not deny any student appropriate credit for an AP exam score earned within the past ten years. If the AP exam score is older than ten years, your university may request that you submit a more recent score.

Your score report includes all your scores from all the AP Exams you took in the past. Your entire score history will be sent to your designated college, university, or scholarship program unless you choose to withhold or cancel any of your scores.
