Hey everyone, just wondering if any of you guys know how much an AP test costs? I'm thinking about taking a few next year but I'm not sure how much it's going to dent my wallet. Thanks in advance!
The standard fee for an AP exam is $98 per test in the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada. For students outside these areas, the cost is $128 per exam. If you're in need of financial assistance, you might be eligible for a fee reduction offered by the College Board, which could bring the cost down by $36 per exam.
Some schools may also have additional fees to cover administrative costs, so it's a good idea to check with your school's AP coordinator or guidance counselor to get the most accurate cost information. Just be sure to factor these costs into your budget when deciding how many AP exams you want to take. Good luck!
