How do I order my AP Exam(s)?
STEP 1: Activate your exam – Log into the College Board MyAP site at http://myap.collegeboard.org using your College Board profile and apply the ‘Join Code’ (access code) you receive from your teacher for each of your subjects.
To complete this step, students will log into the MyAP site with their College Board Profiles (the same accounts used to order SAT® exam, or to collect PSAT/NMSQT® and AP® exam scores from previous years.)
Once logged in, students will “JOIN” each subject that they are taking with a Join Code (an access code.) Join Codes will be distributed by HVA AP® Teachers in class. Codes are subject, teacher and period specific. ALL Students should complete the join step, even if not intending to take the exam, to be able to access course resources and materials.
Students choosing to take the AP® Exam in May must then click “Register for the exam” to activate the exam.
Deadline to Join and activate the exam for courses that start in the FALL Semester is November 4, 2022.
Deadline to Join and activate the exam for courses that start in the SPRING Semester is February 17, 2023.
STEP 2: Submit exam fees – Click on “Submit fees for AP Exams” below and submit your fees based on the following deadlines (based on the semester that your class starts in):
-
- Fall Semester: September 1 through November 4, 2022 (Midnight EST)
- Spring Semester: January 5, 2032 through February 17, 2023 (Midnight EST)
Exam fee submissions for exams may be done via credit card or debit card, or by mailing in a check or money order. There will be an online payment fee of 3.1% for payments submitted by credit or debit card. Directions for payment can be found at the end of the online payment form and in your e-mail confirmation. Postmark deadlines apply.
Late payment submission for exams corresponding to Fall or Yearlong courses is possible from January 5 through February 24, 2023 with a penalty fee of $40 per exam.
Late payment submission for exams corresponding to Spring courses is possible from February 18 through February 24, 2023 with a penalty fee of $40 per exam.
BOTH steps 1 and 2 above are required to be completed by the applicable deadlines to enable the ordering of the exams from the College Board. Exams that have been activated but have no fees submitted by the deadline will automatically be cancelled and deactivated. Cancelled exams cannot be reactivated.
Why do I need to activate an exam on The College Board MyAP System?
The College Board MyAP system provides students a variety of excellent, College Board vetted FREE resources to apply to their AP Course and AP® exam preparation. 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. This means no more pre-administration sessions!
