Withhold Scores

You can request that one or more AP Exam scores be withheld from the score report sent to any college, university, or scholarship program that you selected as a recipient. The score will not be reported on any future reports sent to that recipient.

• Withholding a score does not permanently delete it. 
• The fee to withhold a score is $10 per score per recipient. 
• You can remove a withhold at any time at no charge. 
• Scores are not automatically re-sent to recipients after a withhold is removed. To send the previously withheld score, you must place a new order and pay the $15 score send fee.

Instructions

Check back in mid-May, after the 2026 AP Exam administration, for instructions on how to order and manage score withholds in the AP Score Reporting for Students portal. This new process replaces the PDF order form. 

Score withholds can only be requested after scores for that exam administration are released. For 2026 exams, the ability to order a score withhold will be available starting July 6, 2026. 

We’re no longer accepting mailed or faxed PDF order forms.
