AP® Exam FAQs
Deadline to submit exam fees: February 14, 2022
Exam Fees: $100 per exam
How do I place an AP® exam order?
Step 1: Activate Exam with the Exam Join Step – Students must activate their exam by joining their AP® Class accounts on the new College Board MyAP Site at https://myap.collegeboard.org To access the site, create or use an existing College Board Profile. This step must be completed by October 10, 2021 to activate a May 2022 exam. Join Codes are obtained from your MHS AP® course teacher and are subject, teacher and course period specific.
Step 2: Submit Exam Fee balance due – Starting on January 10, 2022 students will receive a personalized invoice for the balance of fees due via email (at their school email addresses). Balance due paid in full by February 14, 2022.
A penalty fee of $10 per exam will be added to the cost of each exam for late payment submission. ALL payments must be submitted by March 15 or the exam order will be unable to be processed.
Tips for setting up your College Board Profile on MyAP:
– Use your school email address
– 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 in the field provided on MyAP to enable cross-checks in case of typos in names, etc.
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.
I haven’t received my invoice for exam fee balance that is due?
Please email info@aptsusa.com for assistance – include in the email your name, name of your school, and your request for your invoice to be reissued. (Note that the invoices are emailed to the student’s school issued email account.)
