This is my first time taking AP tests and I was wondering when I can expect to receive my results? Do they release the scores at the same time for all the AP exams or are they rolling out differently depending on the subject?
AP test results are usually released in early to mid-July. The exact date may vary slightly from year to year, but you can expect your scores in that time frame. The College Board releases the scores in several batches over a few days. They do this based on the geographical location of the test-taker rather than the subject.
To access your scores, you'll log into your College Board account once the scores are released. You'll receive an email from the College Board as well when your scores are available. After logging in, you can view scores for all the AP exams you've taken in that testing session.
Remember that receiving your scores in July gives you some time to decide whether or not to send them to the colleges you plan on applying to. Many colleges use AP test scores for college credit, placement purposes, or even as a factor in admissions, so it's essential to review your results and consider how they might help your academic profile at your intended colleges.
