• Late Fees will not be charged until April 27.

     

    Late testing: no additional fee

    A late-testing fee will not be charged for circumstances that are beyond the control of school officials and students. Here are some general examples:

    • Conflict with International Baccalaureate (IB) exam
    • Conflict with tests that are mandated at the state, province, or national level
    • Disabilities or accommodation issues
    • Emergency: bomb scare or fire alarm
    • Emergency: serious injury, illness, or family tragedy
    • Language lab scheduling conflict
    • Religious holiday/observance
    • School closing: election, national holiday, or natural disaster
    • Strike/labor conflict
    • Three or more AP Exams on the same date
    • Two AP Exams on the same date and time

    Late testing: with fees*

    A $45 fee will be charged for schools and students that have a choice between accepting the scheduled date and requesting an alternate date. The fee is used to partially defray costs of developing, scoring, and shipping these alternate exams. Here are some of those examples:

    • Academic contest/event
    • Athletic contest/event
    • Conflict with non-AP and non-IB exam
    • Family commitment
    • Ordering error
    • Other school event
    • School closing (local decision, non-emergency)

    *Students who qualify for College Board fee reductions will not incur the $45 charge if alternate testing is required for one of these reasons.

    What Students Can Bring

    • Several sharpened No. 2 pencils (with erasers) for completing multiple-choice answer sheets. 
    • Pens with black or dark blue ink only, for completing areas on the exam booklet covers and for free-response questions in most exams.
    • Their 6-digit school code. Homeschooled students will be provided with their state or country homeschool code at the time of the exam.
    • A watch that doesn't have internet access, doesn't beep, and doesn't have an alarm.
    • Up to two calculators with the necessary capabilities if they are taking an AP® Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, or Statistics Exam. Instruct students to look at the  page and click on the link for their course for the specific calculator policy.

    • Social Security number (for U.S. citizens) for identification purposes (optional). If students provide their number, it may appear on their AP score report. (Some colleges and universities use Social Security numbers as student identifiers when assigning AP credit or advanced placement for qualifying AP scores. While the College Board doesn't require students to provide their Social Security number, students may want to check with the college or university where they are sending scores to see if a Social Security number is preferred.)
