Exam Registration Deadline: November 4, 2026
Exam Fee: $91 per exam
How do I place an AP® exam order?
Step 1: Activate Exam – Students must activate their exams on The College Board MyAP site by JOINing their AP® Class on the MyAP Site at https://myap.collegeboard.org. To access the site, create or use a College Board Profile. You will then ‘Join’ your classes by entering a Join Code (Access Code) that will link you to your specific teacher and subject. November 4, 2026 is the deadline to Join your online AP® class and activate your exam.*
Join Codes are subject and teacher/class period specific and can be obtained from your AP® teacher.
Step 2: Submit Exam Fee – Submit your exam fees between September 1 and November 4, 2026*. Click below to submit the fees.
Late registration will be possible from November 16, 2026 through March 1, 2027, with a penalty fee of $40 PER exam.
Both Step 1 and 2 must be completed by November 4, 2026* to have a successful exam order. Failure to complete both steps 1 and 2 by the November 4, 2026* deadline means the AP® Coordinator for your school cannot submit an exam order without you being held responsible for penalty fees.
* Students enrolled in courses that COMMENCE in the Spring Semester (AP Macroeconomics), do not need to register in the Fall. These students and only these students can register without penalty fees between January 1 and March 1, 2027.
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
– 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 to assist your school in reporting your attendance to the exam to your school AND help identify errors in names.
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.
