The AP (Advanced Placement) exams are pre-university tests provided by the United States College Board that allows students to earn college credit in high schools. These credits depend on the score obtained on the exam. In 2013, the College Board digitized the AP score submission process, making scores available only online. Students must register with an account via the Internet in order to receive their scores in July. Find out how to send AP scores to desired colleges.
