College Board Account Access and Score Reporting

---

Students need to be able to log into their College Board account.

Students must know their College Board username and password and have a safe place to keep this information, so they can retrieve it closer to exam day. It’s important that your personal information is accurate in your College Board account. You must use your legal name, correct date of birth, etc. Inaccurate information could jeopardize your ability to test or access your scores.

If any students need to correct information in their account, they should contact AP Services for Students 888-225-5427, apstudents@info.collegeboard.org as soon as possible. College Board will send students important email reminders before exam day to the email address associated with their College Board account.

Check your email frequently, particularly in the weeks before their exam. If students aren’t receiving email updates from the AP Program, they should:

1. Sign in to My AP (myap.collegeboard.org)

2. Confirm their email address: Click their profile in the top right corner. Go to Account Settings and confirm that their email address is the one they want to use for 2026 AP Exam reminders. If they need to change their email address, they should click Update.

3. In Subscriptions, they should confirm they’ve checked the box to receive updates from College Board.

4. Finally, they should create a new contact with the email address collegeboard@e.collegeboard.org in their address book or safe sender list.

Score Reporting to Colleges

SENIORS: To add your free score report recipient, you will need to sign in to MyAP (myap.collegeboard.org) and go to My AP profile. Click the Score Send tab.

Dear Advanced Placement Test Takers and Parents/Guardians,

Advanced Placement exam administration will take approximately four hours per exam. Students may not be dismissed until an Advanced Placement exam has officially ended; do not ask to leave early, even if everyone else has also completed the exam. If you play a sport or have a job, etc., it is your responsibility to inform your coach/employer/etc., of your Advanced Placement exam schedule, and make arrangements accordingly.

Get a good night's rest before your exam, and eat a  nutritious breakfast. You are allowed to bring a small snack and water for your ten minute break (not at your desk). It is advisable to dress in layers, in case the room temperature is below your comfort level.

You should bring the following items to the exam room:

• Several sharpened number two pencils with erasers for all multiple choice answer sheets (mechanical pencils are not allowed).
• Several pens with black or dark blue ink.
• Up to two calculators, but only for authorized exams. Clarify with your instructor in advance and visit www.collegeboard.org/ap/calculators to verify whether a calculator is approved and what capabilities are authorized.  For example, four function with square root?  Scientific? Graphic?
• Most exams will be digital or hybrid. Students will need to bring a fully charged school Chromebook to the exam.

You should not bring the following to the exam room:
