"Your Past Score Orders" AP exam issue

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

I am a rising college freshman and took four AP exams this year. In anticipation of score release in the next few days, I checked the AP website to ensure that all scores will be sent to the university I am going to be attending next year. Upon clicking the “Your Past Score Orders” button, I was able to see that all except one exam that I took this year were counted as having been sent to my school. So three of the four exams I took this year are listed (along with all my past exams and scores) but one from this year (which I don’t yet know my score for) is not. I am concerned that this means that I will not be receiving a score for this particular “missing” exam, as it should have shown up in this section. I am now wondering why this may have happened. Of course, being an overachieving student, my anxious mind is cooking up all kinds of implausible scenarios including the possibility that somehow I have been suspected of cheating leading to this particular test’s absence on my college board past orders page. I’m sure this isn’t the case but I’m anxious nonetheless. I guess I have two questions:

  1. has this happened to anyone else/does anyone know why this may have happened?
  2. Is it possible that my score was canceled? I would have been notified if this were the case by either my school or the college board by now, right? It has been two months
    Any help is appreciated :slight_smile:

Yes this happens once in a while. In my kid’s case last year, a proctor didn’t fill out a form correctly so his AP Lit score didn’t come back until two weeks later. Which was very frustrating because he had registration in mid-July and whether to skip his remaining English class was dependent on the score. Luckily the score came in a few days before registration.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Tomorrow when you see the results officially there probably will be a code indicating why a score is late.

It happens every year for any number of reasons. Ususally, that score is simply deleayed a couple weeks.

Not likely. Your first indication may be when you log in to check your scores and see an error code.
