Ugh, I'm a bit stressed because I think I'm cutting it close with AP exam registrations – does anyone know the absolute latest date you can sign up for AP exams without incurring late fees? Thanks in advance!
I know how stressful deadlines can be, but don't worry—you still have time. The College Board sets the standard deadline for AP exam registration in early November for full-year and first-semester AP courses. However, schools have some discretion to set their own internal deadlines to organize and place orders on time.
If you miss the initial deadline, there is a late registration period that typically extends until mid-March. Bear in mind that registering during the late period incurs an extra fee per exam, on top of the standard cost. Try to register before the late period if possible to avoid this.
I recommend checking with your AP Coordinator or guidance counselor as soon as possible to confirm your school's specific deadlines. They are there to help you navigate this process. Good luck with your exams!
