Do colleges see the AP exam raw score?

In other words are all 5’s the same? As long as you score a 5 it is the same whether you barely made the cutoff or only missed one question?

Thanks - I am not sure what exactly gets sent to colleges?

Noone sees the raw score. Although, if you get a perfect score it’s a really big deal and they tell you. That’s veeeeery extremely rare though.

The 1-5 score only.

To be clear, the CB tells you if you have a perfect raw score. Usually it’s only a few students for each test, though.

Thanks very much for clarifying
