How do I place an AP exam order?
Step 1: Activate Exam – 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 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 AP® Course teachers in class. 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 or update the MyAP Registration Profile pages.
Step 2: Submit Exam Fee Deposit – To initiate an AP® exam order for the May 2024 AP® Exam administration, a non-refundable $40 per exam deposit is due by November 1, 2023. Click on the link below to submit the deposit.
Deposit payments can be submitted online or by mailing in a check/money order. A payment option screen at the end of the Exam Deposit Form will allow you to select your method of payment and provide detailed instructions. Postmark deadline for mail in payment is October 26, 2023.
ALL students must complete the online deposit form, regardless of financial aid status. Student who have their entire exam fee waived due to participation in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program will complete the deposit form and carefully select carefully select YES, that you participate in the Free-Reduced Lunch Program. (All students’ Free-Reduced Lunch Program participation will be verified to finalized their order.)
Students who do not qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch program but still qualify to receive financial assistance will submit their $40 per exam deposit and enter the fee assistance code to enable receipt of a modified invoice for exam fees in December (see below.)
Both Step 1 and 2 must be completed by November 1, 2023 to activate the exam order.
Step 3: Submit balance due – In early December, students with an active exam order (i.e. they completed Steps 1 and 2 above), will receive a personalized digital invoice via email for the applicable balance of fees due. (Invoices are sent to the PARENT email address provided on the deposit payment form). Balance due paid in full by January 31, 2024.
Balance due can be submitted online with debit/credit card OR via mail in with a check or money order. Detailed instructions are on the invoice.
It is possible to submit partial payments towards the balance due.
Students who receive financial assistance will receive a modified invoice for exam fees in January (see below.) Student who have their entire exam fee waived due to participation in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program will receive no invoice due to $0 balance.
Exams with a balance due on January 31, 2024 will automatically be de-activated in the MyAP system and the deposit forfeited. Exams cannot be re-activated.
