Attention Parents of AP Students
The last day to order your child’s AP exam is November 15th. No payment is due at this time. Payment will be collected through the school’s normal billing process after January 1st. If your child’s teacher has not reached out to already, then you likely have an exam order on file. To check your order to place an exam order, login at
https://myap.collegeboard.org/
(MY AP) using your College Board username and password.
Any student who does not order their AP exam by this date, will be automatically withdrawn from the AP course at the end of the first semester. AP exams are required for all students enrolled in an AP course. If you or your child needs assistance with signing up for an AP exam, please contact your child’s teacher.
Any student who orders an exam after November 15th or chooses to cancel an exam will be assessed a $40 fee by the College Board. If your child may drop an AP course at the end of the semester, please communicate with your counselor now to notify her and then log in to My AP to cancel your AP exam (if one was ordered) to avoid being charged for the exam and any late/cancellation fees.
Additionally, any student who requires a late testing date for any reason (illness, athletics, etc.), must order a late exam through the My AP portal and pay the $40 late-testing fee assessed by the College Board.
