What is an AP Score Report?
An AP Score Report is a document that shows your scores on the AP exams that you have taken. It is sent to you by the College Board in July after all of the AP exams have been scored.
Your AP Score Report includes the following information:
- Your name and date of birth
- Your AP ID number
- The name of each AP exam that you took
- Your score on each AP exam
- A breakdown of your score on each AP exam, by section
Your AP Score Report is an important document because it shows colleges and universities how well you have performed on college-level courses and exams.
Colleges and universities use AP scores to make decisions about college credit, placement, and financial aid.
