AP® Exam FAQs
Registration Deadline: October 31, 2025
I can’t access my College Board Profile account or am not sure I have one. What do I do?
The College Board Profile is the same account used to access your past years’ AP® scores, PSAT® scores, and SAT® scores. Do not create a new one! Each student should have only ONE unique account. If you are unable to access the account, try using the ‘Forget Password?’ link on http://myap.collegeboard.org OR email apstudents@info.collegeboard.org OR call 888-225-5427 for assistance.

Where do I get an admission ticket?
Students do not need admission tickets to enter the AP® Exam testing facilities. However, each student does need a CURRENT picture ID, such as a school ID or a driver’s license. Without picture ID students will not be allowed to enter the room.
How do I figure out where my exam will be administered?
AP® exam testing locations will be posted in late April on bulletin boards in each Commons, in the College Guidance office, and on the bulletin board outside Ms. Lenhart’s office. Home-schooled, Sandia Prep, and Bosque School students taking AP® exams can access the AP® exam schedule/testing locations on May 1, 2026 at the Albuquerque Academy website (www.aa.edu).
How do I know when the exam is? How do I know how long the exam is?
Please review the calendar at the link below. Exams are either Morning (AM) exams or Afternoon (PM) exams. On average, exams last 4.5 hours (this includes approximately 45 minutes of time spent on completing identifying information, etc.) Students should notify coaches, parents, etc. accordingly since no early dismissal is possible from the exam.
What if I decide to not take an exam? Can I get a refund?
Exam cancellations and refunds are not allowed per Albuquerque Academy policy. Please make your selection carefully.
What if I finish the exam early? Can I leave early?
Per College Board’s security regulations for exams, students may not leave the test until time is called and all examinees are excused together. If a student leaves without permission, their exam will be collected and submitted separately to College Board. Their score will be cancelled and no refund will be possible. Exams are approximately 4.5 hours. Please be prepared for the duration of the exam.
