College Board sends out the AP certificates in mid-October, so most students will have them in hand before sending in college applications. If you are applying before then, you can put down “AP Scholar with Distinction (pending receipt from College Board)” or something similar, since the eligibility rules for each award level are very specific and if you have qualified, you get the award. There’s no subjectivity involved.

Both AP score reports and AP awards are cumulative and are based on all AP tests that you have taken, regardless of what year. So this year’s mailings will contain all of your tests from previous years as well.
