AP® Latin

What is a good AP® Latin score?

Receiving a 3, 4, or 5 is a strong AP® exam score. According to the College Board, a 3 is ‘qualified,’ a 4 is ‘well qualified,’ and a 5 is ‘extremely well qualified.’ Depending on the school you plan to attend, college credits are often offered for scores of 3 or above. To review the AP® Credit Policy, for schools you’re considering, use College Board’s search tool.
