EXAM REGISTRATION DEADLINES AND PROCEDURES
Step 1: Activate your Exam on MyAP – Students will activate their AP® Exams in the College Board MyAP system at http://myap.collegeboard.org by joining the AP Class using the Join Code. An active College Board profile log in will be needed. This step will be completed in class before end of October.
Step 2: Submit exam fees – Click on the Submit AP Exam Fees button below and complete the online payment form. Exam fees are due paid in full by November 6, 2022
1. To activate an AP® Exam order for the May 2023 exam administration, students will log into or create their College Board profiles via http://myap.collegeboard.org
To link their exam subject to their profiles, students will receive from each of their AP® teachers a Join Code (or access code). Join Codes are subject, teacher and class period specific. Students will JOIN their AP Classes at the start of the year with this join code.
The MyAP system will prompt students to complete a MyAP Profile – please make sure to enter your full legal name, the correct school of attendance, your student ID number, and an email address able to receive of important alerts from College Board and APTS. (It should be an email address frequently checked and which you can access beyond high school.)
2. Payment submission for AP® exams will be done through APTS. Click on the ‘Submit AP® Exam Fees’ button and complete the online payment form.
The fees due can be submitted either by online payment (credit or debit card), or via mailing in a check or money order. Instructions will be provided at the end of the form. Payment is due by November 6, 2022 at 11:59pm EST.
Use of a credit or debit card to complete the online payment form will incur a 3.1% credit card processing fee. Students may choose to avoid that fee by mailing in a check or money order to the address provided in the invoice instructions. Mail in options should be payable to “APTS.” If you select this option, you must postmark your payment on or before November 1, 2022 to ensure timely processing.
Any exams with payment outstanding on November 7, 2022 will be deactivated and cancelled in MyAP.
LATE registration is possible from November 16, 2022 through March 5, 2023. A penalty fee of $40 per exam will be charged for late orders or for reactivating an exam. No payments will be accepted after March 5, 2023.

If you feel you may qualify for a fee reduction, please contact AP Coordinator Mr. Kevin DeBenedetto and Ms. Tara Baron at kdebenedetto@hicksvillepublicschools.org and and tbaron@hicksvillepublicschools.org. Approval for fee reductions will be based on criteria established by the College Board. Students who are approved for the reduced fee rate as per the College Board criteria, will receive a fee reduction code to apply to the online payment form. This code will reduce the amount due. Please request the code before completing the payment form.
6. Exam day details will be released by the school when the exam administration dates are closer.
7. Cancellations: Students who order and pay for an exam but decide to cancel must submit a written request to cancel@aptsusa.com – include the student’s name, school name, and the name of the exam the student wishes to cancel. Cancellation requests submitted before the November 6 exam order deadline will be eligible for a full refund of the base exam fee. Cancellation requests submitted after November 6 and before March 5, 2023 (11:59pm EST) will be eligible for a partial refund of exam fees. A $40 cancellation penalty fee will be retained out of the exam fee (a policy set by College Board). Credit/debit card fees are non-refundable. No shows on exam day are not eligible for a refund.
