AP Exam Information

For many of you, you already have this. Your same College Board account login is used for PSAT, SAT and AP exams; if you have ever created an account for one of these, you have it done! Please do not create a 2nd account.  If you do, it could prevent all of your SAT scores or AP scores from going to the correct college. 

If you do not currently have a College Board Account please create one prior to the start of school in order to streamline access to online resources and exam ordering. You can create an account or verify that you have an account at www.collegeboard.org.  If this is not completed prior to the first day of school, students will create their account during class.  Here are some helpful hints for setting up your account, or verifying the information if you already have an account:

• Make sure it is the student’s name that is on the account. The name on the account will be included on any score reports for AP or SAT exams that are sent to colleges.   

• The students must have their own email address associated with their College Board account.  This cannot be their school gmail (@bscsd.org) address because the student’s school (@bscsd.org) email does not accept emails from outside of the school district. If you forget your log in, College Board will send you an email to reset it, so you have to be able to get the email.  This email will also be used to communicate any information to students from College Board regarding testing and AP Classroom resources. **This should not be the parent’s email address either.  If you already have an account, please check this and change it if necessary. 

• If you have problems with your account, please contact College Board.  High schools are not linked to them at all, so we are not able to help with issues and College Board will not talk to the AP Coordinator or counselor on your behalf. The phone number to contact College Board regarding your account is 888-225-5427. You can also reach them by completing the AP Services for Students Contact Form at https://collegeboard.tfaforms.net/193.  

• It is recommended that you put your College Board login somewhere in your phone – in the notes or a photo of the username and password.   You will use this multiple times, so you’ll want to remember it. 

Included with this letter are the following (2) documents that need to be printed, signed and handed in:

1. AP Exam Registration Form:  AP EXAM REGISTRATION FORM FALL 2024

2. AP Exam Parent Permission Form for use of College Board Account:  AP EXAM PARENT PERMISSION COLLEGEBOARD ACCOUNT FORM

BOTH forms must be completed and submitted with payment by October 31, 2024 to finalize registration and ensure an exam is ordered for May 2025.    

LATE ORDERING FEES – Students who do not submit the registration form and payment prior to the deadline will not have an exam ordered and will be subject to late exam ordering fees. AP Exams are ordered at the beginning of November, with a change deadline of Nov 14th (this is a hard deadline set by the College Board).  If anyone decides to order an exam after those dates the fee PER EXAM will increase to $133 – the College Board charges a $40 late registration fee PER EXAM in addition to the regular exam fee for any exams ordered after November 14th.  Students who submit registration forms and payment after the deadline will incur an ordering fee of $133.  All exam fees are non-refundable.
