1. To activate an AP® Exam order for the May 2020 exam administration, students will log into their College Board profiles via http://myap.collegeboard.org in class.
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. Deadline to activate your exam on the MyAP site is November 1, 2019.
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 your email address to enable receipt of important alerts from College Board and APTS. (Use an email address frequently checked!)
Please see the FAQs for more information.

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 in the invoice.
Use of a credit or debit card to complete the online payment form will incur a 3% credit card processing fee.

Mail in options should be payable to “APTS.” If you select this option, you must postmark your payment on or before November 4, 2019 to ensure timely processing.
Unpaid balances as of November 15 will be levied a $40 per exam late fee. No payments will be accepted after January 31, 2020.
