AP scores are released in July. Before scores are released, confirm you can access your College Board account by signing in using the same account you used to enroll in your AP class sections.
Don't create a new account if you already have one, as duplicate accounts can cause delays in getting your AP scores. If you have more than one account, can’t log in, or have another problem with your account,
please contact AP Services for Students. Check out these
FAQs about viewing your scores and learn more about each AP score.
AP Exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Many U.S. colleges grant credit and/or advanced placement (that means they let you skip the equivalent course once you get to college) for scores of 3 and above.
Your total score is calculated from your section scores.
For most AP Exams, your score is a weighted combination of your scores on the 2 sections, multiple-choice and free-response. Some AP courses have assessments that include other scored components.
AP Exams are scored on a 5-point scale.
The final score for each AP Exam is reported on a 5-point scale that offers a recommendation about how qualified you are to receive college credit and placement—but each college makes its own decisions about what scores it will grant credit or placement for.
AP score setting is based on research.
The AP Program conducts studies in all AP subjects to correlate the performance of AP students with that of college students in comparable college courses. These studies help set the “cut points” that determine how AP students’ composite scores are translated into an AP score of 1–5.
