Hi all! Quick question: how can I see the breakdown of my AP exam scores? Is there a detailed report that shows how I did in each section or on specific types of questions?
Hello! I'm glad you're interested in understanding your AP exam performance in greater detail. Unfortunately, the College Board does not provide a detailed breakdown of AP scores to students. The scores are reported on a 1 to 5 scale overall, without specifics on individual sections or question types.
However, if you're looking to get feedback to improve for future tests or understand your strengths and weaknesses, you might consider reviewing the free response questions and scoring guidelines available on the College Board's website. These resources can be useful for comparing what you remember about your answers with the sample responses provided.
Additionally, your AP teachers might offer valuable insights if you discuss your scores with them, as they're familiar with your in-class performance and practice exams, and thus might be able to offer insight into areas where you might have struggled.
Finally, if you're wondering about your exam breakdowns for the sake of college admissions, take a deep breath. AP exams play quite a small role in the college admissions process - your performance in the class overall matters far more. For more information on how admissions officers will view any AP scores you send them, I'd check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-important-are-ap-scores-for-college-admissions/
