Hey everyone, I'm kind of new to this whole AP exam thing. Could someone explain the process of how to actually buy an AP exam? I'm not sure if I should go through my school or if there's a way to do it online myself. Thanks in advance for the help!
Hey there! No worries, the process of purchasing an AP exam is quite straightforward. Typically, your school will handle the registration process for you. You should start by talking to your AP teacher or the school's AP Coordinator, who can provide specifics on deadlines and payment details. Deadlines for registration are usually in the fall, but some schools may have a different timeline. The cost varies depending on your school and location, but it's generally around $95 per exam. For homeschooled students or those whose schools do not offer AP exams, you can search for authorized AP test centers on the College Board website where you can register to take exams independently. Just make sure to do this well in advance, as spots can fill up! Hope this helps and best of luck with your exams!
