Send Score Reports by Mail or Fax Anytime

If you’re taking AP Exams as a junior or sophomore 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.You can also request additional score sends online or by mail or fax for a fee.

If you’re a senior entering college in the fall, check your college’s deadline for getting AP scores. We encourage you to send scores as soon as they’re available to make sure they’re received in time.

Remember that if you take an AP Exam in your senior year and designate a college to receive your scores, that college will receive your entire score report from all AP Exams you’ve taken throughout high school unless you have requested score(s) to be withheld or canceled.

Yes. 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. 

When you look at your online score report, check that it’s complete. Some scores may take longer to process because of later testing dates or other circumstances (e.g., late arrival of testing materials or extra time needed to match records). We’ll email you when your score is added to your score report. 

If you notice that exams that you took last year or earlier (up to four years ago) are missing, it might be because you have multiple accounts. To resolve a multiple account issue, contact AP Services for Students via our online form, or call 888-225-5427 (toll free in the United States and Canada) or 212-632-1780. Please note that during score release in July, AP Services for Students will have longer than usual response times. 

If your most recent AP Exam was over four years ago, your AP scores are no longer viewable from our online score reporting system. They have been archived and can only be sent to a college, university or scholarship program through a request made via mail or fax. 

When you designate a college or university in My AP by the June 20 deadline, your scores should be received by early July. 

If you order additional score reports for a fee, the delivery dates depend on whether you choose standard or rush delivery, and when you place your order: 

• 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. 

• Rush: Your scores will be delivered to your designated score recipient in 5–9 days. The exact number of days depends on when you submit your request and the location of your score recipient. The fee is $25 per report. 

If you’re missing AP scores for this year, you may have given us information on your AP answer sheet that doesn’t match the information you gave us when you created your College Board account. This means we can’t connect your AP scores to your account. You won’t be able to view or send an official score report until the issue is resolved. 

In the meantime, the system will produce what we call a view-only score report. A view-only score report can’t be sent to a college, university, or scholarship program. Furthermore, it does not contain your complete score history if you took exams in prior years. 

To get access to an official score report that you can send to score recipients and that contains your entire exam history, contact AP Services at 888-225-5427 (toll free in the United States and Canada) or 212-632-1780 to resolve your account issue. 

If you haven’t taken any AP Exams since you sent your last official AP score report, then you probably don’t need to send your scores again.

You can see a history of all AP scores you’ve sent to colleges, universities, and scholarship programs by signing in to our AP student score reporting system and choosing to view Past Score Sends.

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.

The AP score reporting system shows you what date your scores were sent to each institution, but it won’t tell you when the scores arrived. The exact amount of time it takes for a college to receive your scores depends on when you submit your request and the location of your score recipient.

Your withhold request will be processed within 15 business days of receipt. Please allow for delays, especially if you are mailing from overseas. Once processed, you will see the withhold reflected on your online AP score report. If you had requested a score report to be sent to a college or university on the same form, please allow for the estimated delivery time depending on the delivery option selected. College Board can’t confirm if and when your score report is received by your designated institution. Contact your college or university directly to confirm their receipt of your scores.

Your cancellation request will be processed within 15 business days of receipt. Please allow for delays, especially if you are mailing from overseas. Once processed, you will see the cancellation reflected on your online AP score report.

The AP Program allows you to cancel your AP Exam scores. When you request cancellation, your exam won’t be scored, and if it has already been scored, the score will be permanently deleted from our records. Once a score is canceled, it can’t be reinstated. There’s no fee for this service, but your exam fee is not refunded. Archived scores can’t be canceled.

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

Another option is to choose to withhold one or more AP Exam scores from any college or scholarship program that you choose as a score recipient. The score will be withheld from any future score reports sent to that college or scholarship program. Unlike a cancellation request, a request to withhold a score does not permanently delete your score. The fee to withhold a score is $10 per score per college, which does not include the cost to send your score report to the designated institution.

You may later remove the withhold by sending AP Services a signed written request. There is no charge to remove a withhold on a score.

For scores to be withheld from the college or university indicated online through the free score send in My AP, AP Services for Students must receive your request and payment by June 15 of the year you took the AP Exam.

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.

Check the admissions websites of the colleges that interest you to see if sending your official scores will help support your application. In general, colleges want to see that you’re taking the most rigorous coursework available to you. By enrolling in AP courses, you demonstrate that you’re interested in challenging yourself and learning at a college level.

If your last AP Exam was more than four years ago, your scores are archived and you can’t view them in our online score reporting system. You can still send these scores to a college, university, or scholarship program, or get a score report sent to yourself, by submitting a form by mail or fax. See how.
