Accessing Online Scores
Accessing 2012 Scores
This summer, the College Board will contact authorized AP teachers and school and district administrators with specific information on how and when to access the Online Score Reports website when 2012 scores are released in July.
Please see below for important information about access codes.
Setting Up Your Account
The most important thing to know about accessing the Online Score Reports website is that all authorized AP teachers, AP Coordinators, principals and district administrators must have an Education Professional login to view reports. You may already have an Education Professional login if you have used College Board online services such as AP Exam Ordering, the AP Course Audit or AP Potential™ in the past.
Access Codes
In addition to an Education Professional login (which is required for everyone), some educators will also need an access code to view 2012 scores online.
- Anyone at your school who has an authorized role in the 2011-12 AP Course Audit (this includes any authorized AP teachers, and your school's designated AP Course Audit administrators) will not need an access code in July 2012.
- School administrators who do not have a 2011-12 AP Course Audit account will need an access code to enter the Online Score Reports website if:
- They did not access previous years' AP Exam scores online; or
- The email address listed for them on the 2011-12 Participation Form does not match the email address in their Education Professional account.
If you accessed AP Exam scores online in previous years and the email listed in your Education Professional account matches the email given for you on your school's 2011-12 Participation Form, you should not need an access code.
In late May 2012, we e-mailed access codes to AP Coordinators and principals designated on school’s 2011-12 Participation Forms and to 2011-12 AP Course Audit administrators.
We encourage you to set up your access and sign in to the site as early as possible, before the release of scores in July. If you are prompted for an access code when signing in, you will need to wait an additional 24 hours after entering your code before you can access the site. This delay allows the system to process your account information.
In the summer of 2012, we will email schools with more information on how and when to access 2012 scores in July.
District administrators: Unless you have an authorized role for your district in the 2011-12 AP Course Audit, you will not have automatic access to the Online Score Reports site and will need a new access code to sign in when 2012 AP scores are released in July.
We recently mailed a letter to the attention of superintendents at districts that accessed online scores last year with instructions on how to request access codes. If you are the superintendent, please follow the instructions in that letter to request an access code. If you are not the superintendent, your superintendent can either designate you as one of your district’s contacts to receive the access code, or share the district’s access code with you.
If your district did not receive a letter or is new to AP scores online, contact AP Services by phone at (877) 274-6474 (toll free in the United States and Canada) or (609) 771-7300, or by email at apexams@info.collegeboard.org.
Granting Access to Other Staff
In addition to authorized AP teachers and administrators, your school may have additional staff that it would like to share certain reports with.
For these cases, an access code was emailed in late May to the AP Coordinator or principal designated on your school's 2011-12 AP Participation Form, and to any additional 2011-12 AP Course Audit administrators at your school. This code can be shared with a limited number of staff at your school so that they can access the Online Score Reports website.
Alternatively, an administrator can download or print reports to share with these staff members offline. For more information about teachers' and department chairs' access to the website, visit Teacher Access.
