What Is an AP Score and What Does It Mean?<\/h3>\n

Your AP score shows how well you did on the AP Exam. It’s also a measure of your achievement in your college-level AP course. This score will be used by colleges and universities to determine if they will grant you credit for what you’ve already learned, or allow you to skip the equivalent course once you get to college (this is known as advanced placement).<\/p>\n

In most cases, your score is a weighted combination of your scores on the multiple-choice section and on the free-response section.\u00a0 The final score is reported on a 5-point scale as follows:
\n5 = extremely well qualified<\/span>
\n4 = well qualified<\/span>
\n3 = qualified<\/span>
\n2 = possibly qualified<\/span>
\n1 = no recommendation<\/span><\/p>\n

“Qualified” means that you have proven yourself capable of doing the work of an introductory-level course in a particular subject at college. Many colleges and universities grant credit and placement for scores of 3, 4 or 5; however, each college decides which scores it will accept. To see college policies for AP scores, visit our\u00a0AP Credit Policy Search<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In order to be considered for credit or placement, you must\u00a0send your official AP score report\u00a0to the college you’re planning to attend.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
