If you took an AP exam this spring, scores are now available by phone. A little later in July you, your high school, and any designated colleges will receive your scores by mail. But if you can't wait a few days, you can take advantage of the College Board's AP Automated Score Reporting Services. As far as college admissions go, getting your scores a few days early makes no difference. But if you're losing sleep wondering whether you got a 4 or 5 on that AP History exam, it may be worth the $8 to get the score over the phone.

So who exactly do I call for my AP scores?
You can call AP at 1-888-308-0013. You will need a credit card and will be charged $8 to get your scores early.
Does your high school mail you your score when they get it?
What time do scores come out on July 1st??
I think it is another hour. That is 6 EST and college board has offices on the east coast and somewhere after 6 makes sense to me.
I called the service this morning 11 am GMT +1 time, the message says they’re not available yet.
i called this morning at 7:00 am EST and it said call on July 1st and today is July 1st and that is all it said..it did not say unavailble, anyone know when it will be on July 1st…thanks and good luck everyone
I just called, and got all the way after entering all of my info (ap number etc) then it said “your information has been located” but “your scores are currently unavailable, please call back in. A week”.
I just called and got the exact same response as jle did. “Your scores are currently unavailable, please allow one week before calling again.” I thought they said scores were available july 1st?
@jle. i got the same exact message.
Same here… said located information, but scores not available. It said to wait 7 days before calling back again.
Why did they bother saying they’d be ready July 1st?
CALLED, GOT MY SCORES! It’s working now!
Before getting my scores, the automated message told me that some scores were unavailable. I decided to find out my scores anyway, even if I did have to pay again. The scores that were unavailable were for Calculus BC (and the AB subscore). Anyone else run into this?
Called several times between 11 am EST and 1 pm EST and each time it said “could not locate records”. Maybe the big storm on Friday night interfered with the College Board database somehow??
is there anyway to get your scores if you don’t have your AP number from the packet?
Donald, I took the AP Calc BC test and they said mine were not available either. I am so glad I’m not the only one, I was freaking out!
lines are always busy =((
can’t wait(
If you tried to ring the international number one it will be always busy. That what happened to me yesterday night. Try to ring the US and Canada one. That would do the trick. It worked for me in the UK.
Hey guys, thought you might want to know that i called ap services after receiving the message. turns out all my scores were actually in, regardless of what the recording said on the machine. however, the machine will say “unavailable” when it gets to the score that wasn’t “in.”
if you do pay though, and call ap services after to complain, and tell them you already paid–all the while managing to pass a battery of tests like home address and high school name, and all the tests you took–you can call back ap services and get them to tell you the score that was missing. in this way, i got all my scores! however, i would call ap services to be sure that they are all actually in before paying.
the number: 1-888-225-5427, dial 0 on the menu.
it says my scores cannot be located and that i typed something in wrong but i know i typed it in right… and then it connects me to a service representative and their office is closed today apparently…. did my scores get lost because they could not be “located?”
I called them and they only gave me my APUSH results, not the English ones, what should I do?
Julia and Max–Now that the holiday is over, have you had luck reaching a service representative to find out what went wrong?
So, is there a way for me to retrieve my scores without my AP number?
Hi Shiloh. You should be able to retrieve the number if you call the College Board. Here’s what the AP website says: “If you misplaced your AP number or are unsure about any information you provided on your answer sheet, call AP Services first at 888-225-5427 or 609-771-7300″ Good luck!
Hey has anyone received their scores by mail yet?
So I accidently threw away my A.P booklet with my A.P number on it and I did not write my social security number in. Does anyone know what I can do to find out my scores? I want to call but who do I call?
I haven’t recieved my results by mail yet. Hopefully they will come. tomorrow. I’m getting a little anxious.

I live in New York and our scores will be coming in the mail today!
