What if I can’t log into my College Board profile or can’t remember if I have one?
Don’t create a second account! Each student should have only ONE College Board account during their high school careers which houses AP®, PSAT® and SAT® scores and information. For log in help visit: https://pages.collegeboard.org/account-help or https://myap.collegeboard.org Students may also call College Board AP® Services for Students: 888-225-5427.
Why does my Exam Status on myap.collegeboard.org say that I am taking the exam? I do NOT want to take the exam!
Until October 23, all students by default will see the status indicating that they will be taking the AP Exam since this is the system default. Once payment of fees has been cross-referenced, the system will be updated to reflect accurately your situation and selection.
Where do I get an admission ticket?
Students do not need an admission ticket for AP® exams. Each student MUST have a CURRENT picture id (school ID or driver’s license). Without photo ID, you will not be allowed to test.
How do I qualify for a fee reduction?
Fee reductions are possible for qualified students. All students will submit the $60 exam fee in advance of the October 23 registration deadline to have an active exam order. Students who are officially qualified as Free and Reduced Lunch eligible who are confirmed to have participated in May, will automatically receive back their $60 as a refund in June. If you are not sure if you are approved for this reduced status, you can check with your school site AP Coordinator, Ms. Johnson, at karen.johnson@wmtps.org – No action is needed on the payment form.
How do I find out about the specifics for exam day?
Your school will communicate exam day details to examinees closer to the actual exam administration.

What if I have more than one exam scheduled for the same day and same time?

What if I have two exams scheduled on the same day?
You will take the exams back to back (one in the morning and one in the afternoon)
What if I decide not to take an exam?
