Deadline for exam registration: October 31, 2025*
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. Do NOT create a second account! (College Board Profiles are the same account used to order SAT or previous year AP exams, or to collect PSAT or SAT scores.)
Join codes will be issued by your teachers and are subject, teacher and class period specific.
Fall Deadline to activate your exam is October 31, 2025*.
* Students enrolled in the SPRING AP Macroeconomics or AP US Government course will not be able to join that course on MyAP until it commences in the Spring/Second semester.
Step 2: Submit Exam Fee – Submit fees between August 20 and October 31, 2025*. Click below to submit the exam fees.
* Students enrolled in courses that COMMENCE in the Spring can submit exam orders without penalty between January 5 and February 27, 2026.
⇒ Both Step 1 and 2 must be completed by October 31, 2025* to complete the exam order. Failure to complete both steps 1 and 2 by the October 31, 2025* deadline means the AP Coordinator for your school cannot submit an exam order with College Board.
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
– Make sure to enter your COMPLETE legal name to prevent issues with sending score reports to colleges and universities
– Enter your school student ID number to assist your school in reporting your attendance to the exam to the HHS Attendance Office AND help identify errors in names.
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 the Join Code to complete the join step on the MyAP site?
Join Codes are subject, teacher, and period specific. Please see your AP® teacher ASAP to complete the step by October 31, 2025*.
What if I am taking a class that is in the Spring Semester (AP Macroeconomics or AP US Gov)?
Students enrolled in the Spring semester courses may submit their exam deposit in the fall, but are not required to do so. A special registration period ONLY for those students will be possible without penalty fees from January 5, 2026 until February 27, 2026. Students will not be able to receive the Join Codes from the Spring course teachers until the Spring/2nd Semester term begins.
What if I miss the November deadline to submit exam fees?
It is crucial to meet the November deadline.
Students who miss the November deadline and want to add an exam, will be able to do so between January 5 and February 27, 2026 for a penalty fee of $40 per exam.
EXCEPTION is for students enrolled in courses that commence in the Spring/2nd Semester. Only students enrolled in those courses will have an opportunity to initiate new orders without penalty fees for those subjects between January 5 and February 27, 2026.
NO new orders and no changes to orders will be possible after February 27, 2026.
