1. Advanced Placement (AP®) Examinations must be paid for and ordered in advance. Payment submission for the May 2026 exams is possible from September 24 through 11:59pm, November 5, 2025.*
Spaces for exams are limited. Early registration is recommended to secure a space.
2. The cost of each AP® exam is $165 per exam.
3. All exams must be activated on the College Board MyAP site at http://myap.collegeboard.org by November 1, 2025* – students log into the MyAP site with a current College Board account (the same account used to register for SAT exams or to collect PSAT/NMSQT and AP exam scores from past years.) If a student does not have an account, they will need to create one.
To link the exam subject to their account, students will need a Join Code (access code) to apply to their MyAP Accounts and thereby join MyAP AP Classroom.
The Join Codes for the AP Classroom can be obtained from the AP course teachers.
Students registering for exams for which they are self-studying or if they do not attend Franklin academy, will be issued a special Exam Only code that will provide exam activation but no access to AP Classroom. To request an Exam Only code, click on the link for the request form below.
4. All exams must be pre-paid via the online APTS system (at the payment form link below), which accepts credit card and debit card payments. Payment with a credit or debit card has a 3.9% credit card fee added. To submit an order using check or money order, please complete the order online via the link below and follow the directions to mail your order form and payment to the address on your confirmation. Postmark deadline to ensure timely processing is October 28, 2025.
