How do I place an AP exam order?
Step 1: Activate Exam Decision Indicator – Students must JOIN their AP® Class accounts on the MyAP Site at https://myap.collegeboard.org To access the site, create or use a College Board Profile.
College Board profiles are the same accounts used to order SAT exams or previous AP exams, or to collect prior year PSAT/NMSQT or AP Exam scores. Do not create a new account if you already have one (see below for tips.)
Students will obtain a Join Code (access code) from their Sandia HS AP® Course teachers. Join Codes for the MyAP Site are subject, teacher and class period specific.
Once the student has joined the online AP Class group, they will be prompted to complete and update the MyAP Registration Profile pages.
To activate the exam, students choosing to register for the exam must join the class and then click on “Register for Exam.”
Step 2: Submit AP Exam Fees – Click on Submit AP® Exams Payment and complete the payment form to submit fees. Deadline is October 31, 2025.*
Exam fee submissions for exams may be done via credit card or debit card, or by mailing in a check or money order. Complete the payment form at the link below and select your method of payment at the end. There will be an online payment fee of 3.9% for payments submitted by credit or debit card. Directions for mail in payment can be found at the end of the online payment form and in your e-mail confirmation. Postmark deadline for Mail In payments is October 27, 2025.
⇒ Both Step 1 and 2 must be completed by October 31, 2025 to complete the exam order.*
Tips for setting up your College Board Profile on MyAP:
– Use an email address that you will have access to throughout high school AND university and that is checked frequently so you don’t miss important alerts.
– Make sure to enter your COMPLETE legal name to prevent issues with sending score reports to colleges and universities
– Make sure to enter your School ID number into the Student Identifier field for accurate attendance reporting to your school.
– Students are able to submit a request via the MyAP Profile for one free score report to be sent to colleges/universities. Navigate to “Score Send” and enter your school’s name before June 15th to qualify for the free score report.
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.
What if I miss the October deadline to submit an exam fee?
No exam orders will be accepted after October 31, 2025*. Please be diligent about meeting this crucial deadline.
I am enolled in AP® Macroeconomics and the class doesn’t start until January. What do I do?

Is there fee assistance available?
Fee reductions are available to qualifying students based on income as well as enrollment which reduces the cost of exams significantly. To apply for a fee reduction, contact Mr. Pacheco to obtain a Fee Reduction Discount Code. Once you have the discount code, you can complete your online fee submission form on this website. Where prompted, enter the code to reduce the exam price appropriately. The fee due can then be paid online or by mail in.
Students who are registering for more than 4 exams and qualify for the reduction due to enrollment also need to see Mr. Pacheco for a Scholarship Code.
How do I receive my scores?
By completing the exam activation process on the MyAP site, you will be issued a unique AP ID number. Scores are usually available in early July by using the AP ID and your College Board log in to retrieve scores at http://apscores.org
