AP Equivalencies

AP exams are given at the end of the Spring semester each year. The score you get on the exam (1-5) will determine whether you earn college credit. Each college sets their own requirements for the score needed (typically a 3, 4, or 5), so it is important to check with the college you plan to attend to see whether they will accept your AP score. Here's a tool to search colleges' AP Credit Policies: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/creditandplacement/search-credit-policies.

AP Scores for CPCC Credit

CPCC will count some AP courses toward your associate's degree. For information on AP scores needed and credits granted by CPCC: Advanced Placement Examination Course Credit Guidelines < Central Piedmont Community College (cpcc.edu) .

Sending AP Scores to Other Colleges

You will need to request that College Board sends your AP scores to the school you plan to attend in order to receive college credit:

You can send one free score report if you enter the college you want it sent to on your answer sheet when taking the exam. If you request scores after the exam, there is a $15 fee per score report. AP score reports do not need to be sent when applying to colleges. Wait until you have determined where you are going and confirmed that they will accept your scores before paying to send a score report.
