AP scores for the year 2020 were released starting on July 15th at 8 AM Eastern Time, with the release happening over several days based on geographic regions. This was different from previous years where scores were typically released in early July and staggered by regions starting around July 5th. The 2020 release adjustment came due to the unique circumstances of that year, including virtual testing and the pandemic. To summarize:
- In 2020, AP scores became available beginning July 15th.
- Scores were released in waves depending on location.
- This varied from prior years' earlier July release dates around July 5th to July 9th.
This timing was confirmed by multiple sources referencing the College Board's statements for 2020 score releases.
