How do I place an AP® exam order?
Step 1: Activate Exam – Students must activate their exams on The College Board MyAP site by JOINing their AP® Class on the MyAP Site at https://myap.collegeboard.org. To access the site, create or use a College Board Profile. You will then ‘Join’ your classes by entering a Join Code (Access Code) that will link you to your specific teacher and subject. November 4 is the deadline to Join your online AP® class and activate your exam.*
Join Codes are subject and teacher/class period specific and can be obtained from your AP® teacher.
Step 2: Submit Exam Fee – Submit your exam fees between August 28 and November 4, 2022*. Click below to submit the fees.
Byron P. Steele HS is also the proud recipient of a NMSI Grant which reduces the cost of STEM exams for students to $45 per exam. STEM Subjects offered at Byron P Steele HS are: AP Biology, AP Calculus AB * BC, AP Chemistry, AP Computer Science A and Principles, AP English Language, AP Environmental Science, AP Physics 1 and 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics, and AP Statistics. Students registering for STEM exams will be automatically charged the reduced price.

Both Step 1 and 2 must be completed by November 4, 2022* to have a successful exam order. Failure to complete both steps 1 and 2 by the November 4, 2022*deadline means the AP® Coordinator for your school cannot submit an exam order without you being held responsible for penalty fees.
* Students enrolled in courses that COMMENCE in the Spring Semester (AP Macroeconomics, AP Psychology and AP US Government), do not need to register in the Fall. These students and only these students can register without penalty fees between January 2, 2023 and February 28, 2023.
Why do I need to activate an exam on The College Board MyAP System?

In addition, students will now JOIN the AP ®Group and complete the Registration Profile section on the MyAP website to enable custom printing of AP® exam barcode labels for each student for exam day.
Tips for setting up your College Board Profile on MyAP:
– Use an email address that you will have access to throughout high school AND university
