Help needed with AP score submission!

Hi all, I'm sorta confused about the AP score submission process for college apps. Do I need to officially submit all of them myself, or does CollegeBoard do that for me? What's the whole procedure?

When applying to colleges, the process of AP score submission usually requires students to self-report their scores on their applications. This means that you would manually enter your scores in the appropriate section of the application form.

The College Board, which administers the AP exams, will not automatically send your scores to the colleges you're applying to. If a school requests official AP scores, you'll need to submit a score report request through the College Board's website. However, it's important to note that most colleges do not require official AP score reports during the application process, and only need them for credit or placement purposes after you've been accepted and decide to enroll.

So, in summary, you are primarily responsible for reporting your AP scores during the college application process. After you decide where to attend, you may need to send an official score report to that school, but each school's policy may vary, so it's best to check with the specific institutions you're interested in. This allows colleges to verify the scores you reported and determine if you should receive credit or placement in certain courses based on those scores.
