All students must activate their AP® Exam on the College Board AP® Classroom at http://myap.collegeboard.org on or before November 8, 2019 by logging in and applying a Join Code for each subject, and setting their Exam Decision Indicator. Students log into the College Board AP® Classroom with the College Board Profile – the same profile/account used to retrieve AP® scores from past years, PSAT® scores in past years, or to register/retrieve SAT® scores from past years. Students who have not taken any of these exams will create a NEW account. If students are not certain if they have an account, do NOT create a possible second account. See the FAQs for assistance. (Students should use an email address to which they will have access beyond high school.)
2. The cost of each AP® exam is $94.
A non-refundable deposit of $5 is required by November 8, 2019 to activate the exam order.
Students who successfully activated an exam order by activating the exam on MyAP AND submitting their deposit will receive a personalized digital invoice in December at the parent email address provided on the deposit form. The digital invoice will have a link where the student can submit exam fees via Apple Pay, or via credit/debit card, or by mailing in a check or money order.
It is possible to make payments towards the invoice balance due. Full balance due must be submitted no later than March 6, 2020.
A 3% online service charge will be added to the exam cost for online payments. Mail in payments do not incur this cost, postmark deadlines do however apply. Mail in payments must be payable to “APTS”.
A penalty fee of $40 per exam will be assessed for late balance submissions.
