I’m planning to take the AP Psychology exam but I’m not sure about the cost. How much do I need to shell out for the AP Psychology exam? Any tips for someone taking their first AP test regarding fees and prep would be super helpful!
Hi there! I'm glad to hear you're planning on taking the AP Psychology exam—it's a great way to earn college credit while in high school. The fee for each AP Exam in the United States is $97. However, if you're outside the U.S., the fee increases slightly. Make sure to check with your school as well, as some schools cover a portion of the cost or offer fee reductions based on financial need.
For your first AP exam, I recommend starting your prep early. Familiarize yourself with the exam format by reviewing College Board's site for sample questions and utilizing their practice resources. Also, if you can, try to form a study group with peers or seek help from your teacher if you're struggling with any material. Set up a study schedule that gives you ample time to review all the topics covered by the test. Good luck with your studying, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need any guidance along the way!
