AP in India

2020 AP Exam Registration

The priority registration deadline for AP Exams has already passed. Many test centers are still accepting late registrations. Please check with your preferred center for details on deadlines and fees. AP Exams are administered only in May each year and require advance registration.

Two-part student registration process:

• New!  You must have a College Board account to register for exams online through the new My AP system, using exam “join codes” provided by the test center.
• You must pay test center directly for exams.

You will receive an admission ticket once your registration is final. Registration is considered final once you complete both online registration with AP and pay the test center, and the test center has ordered exams for you. If you pay the test center but do not complete the AP online registration, you will not be able to test.

Why Take AP Exams?

• To stand out to universities. AP shows that you’ve mastered university-level knowledge and skills while still in high school. Nearly all universities in the U.S., as well as many in Canada, recognize qualifying AP Exam scores of 3 or higher on a scale of 5 for credit and/or advanced placement. Many universities in 70 countries and territories throughout Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Latin America also use AP toward admissions and recognize AP as a standardized measure of academic achievement.

  “[Students hear] from our graduates that AP absolutely helped facilitate their entry into highly competitive institutions and prepared them for first-year college success.” –Dr. Habegger, School Director at Colegio Nueva Granada (CNG) in Bogotá, Colombia.

  • AP in U.K. Admissions:

    Because of her combined AP Exam and SAT test scores at her high school in China, Miranda Zhang, now a University of Oxford student, received an unconditional offer from Oxford upon admission, which she says made her life much easier than those of A-Level students, who had to wait for their exam results in August to see if they met Oxford’s conditions or not.

    Students can apply to universities in the U.K. via UCAS with their AP results. Learn how AP can help you get unconditional offers.

• To save money. Many universities give credit or advanced placement for qualifying AP Exam scores of 3 or higher. For example, if you get a score of 4 on the AP English Language and Composition Exam, then you may be eligible to skip your university’s English Language 101 course. The more classes you can skip with qualifying AP Exam scores, the more money you could save on tuition.
   
• To save time. If you can skip an introductory course by earning a qualifying AP Exam scores, then you can take another class instead that will count toward your degree. Use the time you save to take on a double major, an internship, or an on-campus job—or even graduate early.
