⏳ Step 1: Know When Scores Are Available 

Your AP exam scores will be released starting July 8th.

📌 If you took a late exam, your score may take a bit longer to appear—so don’t panic if it’s not there right away.

 

📨 Step 2: Decide If You Want to Use the Free Score Send Option

You can send your AP scores to one college or university for free—but only if you do it by June 20th.

⚠️ Use caution:

Sending scores before you’ve seen them can backfire. If your score isn’t what you expected, you won’t be able to take it back. It’s perfectly fine to wait and send your scores later (for a small fee) once you know which scores help you.

🛑 Step 3: Don’t Want a Score Reported? You Can Cancel It

If there’s a score you don’t want any colleges to see, you can cancel it.

✅ To cancel a score:

1. Download and complete the AP Score Cancellation Form from the College Board.

2. Submit it by June 15th to ensure it doesn’t go to your free recipient.

3. You can send the form by mail, fax, or email (details are on the form).

❗ Canceled scores will not appear on any report and cannot be reinstated.

 

📊 Step 4: Understand What Your Score Means

AP exams are scored on a 1–5 scale:

• 5 = A or A+ in a college course

• 4 = B

• 3 = C

These scores reflect more than just multiple-choice answers. Free-response sections count, and partial credit is awarded—so your thinking, analysis, and written expression matter!

 

🎯 Step 5: Get Course Recommendations Based on Your Scores

Did you know that your AP and SAT scores help the College Board recommend the following best-fit courses for you in high school?

These personalized suggestions can help you:

• Stay academically challenged

• Plan your schedule strategically

• Stay on track for college and career readiness

🏅 Step 6: See If You Qualify for a Performance Acknowledgment

Strong AP scores (and other academic achievements) may qualify you for a Performance Acknowledgment, which:

• Appears on your high school transcript

• Highlights your academic excellence

• Can support college applications and scholarship opportunities

💡 Final Takeaway: You’re in control

Remember, your AP scores are not just numbers-they are tools. Whether you choose to send, cancel, or use them to guide your future coursework, make decisions that align with your goals. You are in control of your academic journey.

 

Stay ambitious!
