    1. Directions on how to create an account and link it to your child are found HERE

    2. You will need your student’s ID # for this step and must link your account to your child’s student # to ensure your order is processed properly

  2. Select “Ann Arbor Public Schools” (if needed)

  3. Click on “AP Testing”

  4. Click on the subject area and name of the exam you wish to take.

  5. Add exam to your cart

Step 2 - Registration with Collegeboard:

Overview of the process:

Want help signing up? Here is a video of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnbQXHNzUaM

 

Enroll in your AP course on the MyAP website. 

  1. Sign in to myap.collegeboard.org and enter the join code for your teacher’s section.   

 

Need Help with your College Board Account? Check here: https://support.collegeboard.org/help-center/account-help

 

  1. Enter your join code. If you do not have the "join code”, please ask your AP teacher for it.  Exam Only Join Codes are available here: AP Testing Exam Only Information for the 2024-2025 School Year

 

Please note, Exam-Only Codes are building specific. Students need to use the code from their assigned building. 

 

  1. On the MyAP website, mark “YES” (instead of “Undecided”  or “NO”) to indicate you want to take the AP exam for each course you are enrolled in.  

 

Note: Only students who mark “YES” in their account and complete payment in Mypaymentsplus will have an exam ordered. Individuals who only complete step one of the registration process will not have an exam ordered. Students who do not wish to take the exam must mark “Undecided” or “NO”.

 

Students who are taking an AP class through a school that is not their enrolled building, need to register for the AP classroom of their teacher and use an Exam-Only Code for their enrolled building. For these students, the exam should be ordered through the exam-only class and not through their AP classroom. 




Note:  AAPS students who are enrolled with A2Virtual+, take their AP class through a different school,  OR who wish to self-study for an AP exam must use the “Exam Only Join Codes” found HERE.**

Both of the above steps must be completed before November 8, 2024 at 11:59 PM in order to receive regular pricing. A $40 late fee from the College Board will be assigned after this date. Students will not be able to change their testing indicator themselves after 11/8/24 at 11:59 PM.

Self-Study or Virtual Course AP Testing

Ann Arbor Public Schools offers AP testing to ALL of our high school students, whether they are enrolled in an AP course or not.  Students who wish to self-study or are taking an online AP course can register for the AP test with us utilizing our “Exam Only” testing course codes.  Students join these courses in their College Board portal just like any other AP course. Students must select their test indicator in the portal and make payment in MyPaymentsPlus just as they would for a traditional AP test.


“Exam Only” Course Join Codes Found HERE
