AP Exam Registration
AP Exam registration is now open. AP Exams are May 6th – through May 16th. Please remember that there is a two-step process to sign up for an AP Exam:
- Step 1: Enter your class specific Join Code in AP Classroom (Teachers shared Join Codes with students in their AP Class. See Ms. McDonald in the Counseling Office if you do not have a join code. If you are NOT enrolled in an AP Class but would like the chance to take the AP Exam, please see Ms. McDonald in the Counseling Office. Don’t move onto Step 2 without doing this first. You must have a College Board account or create a College Board account in order to enter your join code at https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/access-your-ap-resources/join-your-class-online ). Any student who wants to take an AP Exam or is uncertain about taking an exam absolutely has to have their Join Code entered by Wednesday, March 14, 2025. Students who do not have their Join Code entered in AP Classroom by March 14, 2025 will not take AP Exams in the Spring. Entering your AP Exam Join Code is part of what orders you a test from the College Board!
- Step 2: Pay for your AP Exam on the AHS Webstore. We will be accepting payments for AP Exams now through March 14, 2025. The fee for the exam is $150 which includes a $40 late fee. Do not forget to enter your Join Code in AP Classroom. Students who pay for the exam on the AHS Webstore but do not enter their Join Code in AP Classroom by March 14th will not take AP Exams in Spring. A late fee of $40 from the College Board has been tacked on for this penalty. No late registrations will be accepted after March 14, 2025.
Paying for your exam is not ordering your exam, it’s just paying for it! Make sure you entered the correct Join Code on AP Classroom before purchasing your Exam. If you are not sure you paid, please check your history on the Web Store. My Account, My Settings. All of your purchases will be listed here.
These are College Board deadlines, so please be aware as there will be no exceptions made.
All Join Codes are class and period specific. Please do not share Join Codes with other classes or students. If you would like to take an exam and are not in the class, you will need a specific Exam Only Join Code and should see Ms. McDonald in the Counseling Office to get your code.
If you would like to take an exam not offered at Acalanes or have two exams at the same time, or require accommodations, you must contact Ms. McDonald, Testing Coordinator, [email protected], immediately, prior to February 28th to make arrangements for these testing situations.
