If your school offers AP, contact your AP Coordinator to register for the exams. He or she will order the necessary materials, collect fees, and let you know when and where to appear for the exams.
If you are a home schooled student or attend a school that does not offer AP, you can still take the exams by arranging to test at a participating school.
Call AP Services no later than March 1 to get the names and telephone numbers of local AP Coordinators. Prepare a list of the exams you plan to take prior to calling so that the appropriate Coordinators can be identified
Contact the AP Coordinators identified by AP Services no later than March 15.
When calling Coordinators to arrange testing, make sure to tell them:
You are trying to locate a school willing to administer exams to home schooled students or students from schools that do not offer AP.
You will use a different school code so your exam grade(s) will be reported separately from the school at which you test.
The exams you plan to take.
Once you locate a school willing to administer the exams, that school's AP Coordinator is responsible for ordering your exam materials, telling you when and where to appear for the exams, and collecting your fees, which he or she may negotiate to recover additional proctoring or administration costs. That school must administer the exams for you; it cannot forward them to you or your school for handling.
