When is the AP Exam registration deadline?

AP Exam registration deadlines are set by individual schools but follow a general timeline established by the College Board. It is crucial to adhere to these deadlines to avoid costly late fees. There are typically two main deadlines during the school year.

The first and most important deadline is in the fall, usually in November. This is the deadline for ordering exams for full-year courses and for first-semester courses. A late order fee of $40 per exam is applied to any orders placed after this initial deadline. The second deadline is in the spring, typically in March. This is the deadline for ordering exams for courses that only last one semester and are taught in the spring. Your school's AP coordinator will provide you with the specific dates and instructions for registering and paying for your exams. It's a good idea to mark these deadlines on your calendar as soon as they are announced to ensure you don't miss them.
