To prepare and access your score, students must create a College Board account (if they do not already have one). Please follow these directions to create a College Board account. Please remember your email and password for future testing, including AP testing. You will want to use a personal email to create the account, so you have access to College Board after you graduate.

If you have trouble viewing your scores, ensure your name (same as it is in StudentVue) and your Student ID are listed in your account. If you still can’t access your scores, you will need to call College Board - 1 (866) 630-9305.
