2025 Results Now Available for Most Students
The College Board began releasing 2025 Advanced Placement (AP) exam scores on Monday, 7 July. However, not all students have received theirs yet. The release operates on a rolling basis, meaning students in different regions or under unique circumstances may receive scores at different times.
According to the College Board, “Scores are released on a rolling basis. Some students may not see all their scores at once, especially if they tested late or under special circumstances. All scores should be available by mid-July.”

Students Encouraged to Remain Patient

Scores are available through the My AP account at myap.collegeboard.org. Students will receive an email when scores are ready. The College Board urges students to use the same login credentials they used for exam registration.

Common Reasons for Missing Scores
Multiple issues may cause delays in accessing AP scores. These include the rolling release system, testing irregularities, or late exam dates.
Students using incorrect login credentials or creating new accounts may experience further delays. Mismatched student ID numbers or incomplete personal data may also hold up results.
In some cases, missing student identifiers or unresolved payment issues may affect score delivery.
Action Steps for Missing Scores
Students should wait several days before contacting AP Services. If results remain unavailable after two weeks, students may call 888-225-5427.
They should also consult their school counsellor about any paperwork delays.
Why AP Scores Matter for University Credit
AP scores influence college placement and credit eligibility. A score of 3 or higher is usually required for credit.
Each college sets its own credit policy. Students can view credit policies through the College Board’s online search tool.
2025 AP Score Distributions Now Public
The College Board released the national score distributions for each subject. For example, in AP Statistics:
- 17% scored a 5
- 21% scored a 4
- 22% scored a 3
- 16% scored a 2
- 24% scored a 1
The College Board equates a score of 5 with an A or A+. A 4 represents an A-, B+, or B, while a 3 equals a B-, C+, or C.
Scores of 1 or 2 generally do not qualify for credit at most institutions.

Iowa Shows Steady Growth in AP Participation
Iowa saw an increase in AP exam takers from just over 4,000 students in 2001 to more than 12,000 by 2024.
The number of Iowa schools offering AP exams rose from 156 in 2001 to 190 in 2023, then dipped to 177 in 2024.
Despite fewer schools offering exams, 70% of Iowa students scored 3 or higher in 2024. That figure surpasses the national average of 65%.
AP in Florida Remains Contentious
Florida’s AP program has experienced curriculum clashes in recent years. In 2023, Governor 2025 Ron DeSantis’ administration banned AP African American Studies.
State officials cited educational value and ideological concerns. The College Board revised the course, denying political influence in the changes.
Later, Florida’s Board of Education banned portions of AP Psychology over gender and sexuality 2025 topics. The College Board said the decision violated state law.
The Florida Board also introduced a new African American history curriculum. Critics say it omitted vital context about slavery and racism.
College Board Remains Committed to Access
The AP program allows high school students to study over 40 university-level subjects. Expert educators design approved curricula and exams.
Students earn university credits or advanced placement by scoring well on year-end exams. These scores can reduce college costs and time to graduation.
The College Board has administered the AP program since 1955. It continues to expand educational opportunities for students across the United States.
Next Steps for Students
Students should continue checking their My AP 2025 account regularly for updates. They 2025 should use the same login details and avoid duplicate accounts.
They may contact AP Services after two weeks if their score remains missing.
Rescore requests and score-sending services are available through the College 2025 Board website. Most students will have full access to scores by mid-July.
