Finishing the Achievable AP Physics 1 Course means you’ve worked through the core ideas and practiced the kinds of reasoning the AP exam expects. This page walks through how AP exam registration typically works, what fees to expect, and where to find the most reliable updates.

Registration process

The AP Physics 1 exam is administered by the College Board each year in May. Students don’t order AP Exams directly from the College Board. Instead, your school’s AP coordinator (or an authorized test center coordinator) orders the exam and collects fees.

Below is a standard pathway for students attending a school that offers AP.

Join your AP class section online (My AP)

You’ll join your class section using a join code from your teacher or AP coordinator.
This step matters because exam registration is tied to your online class enrollment in My AP/AP Classroom.

AP coordinator places the exam order

After you’re enrolled in the class section, the AP coordinator submits the exam order in AP Registration and Ordering.

Pay the exam fee (to the school/coordinator)

Your AP coordinator or school collects payment and sets local policies (refunds, internal deadlines, and payment methods).

Confirm you’re registered

College Board instructs students to sign in to My AP to confirm exam registration.

Sidenote

For self study/homeschool/outside-school testing

If your school does NOT offer AP Physics 1, you can still take the AP Physics 1 exam, but you’ll need to find a school or test center that’s willing to administer it.

Fees related to the exam

College Board publishes current fees and deadlines each year on the official College Board website.

Base exam fee

$99 per exam at schools in the U.S., U.S. territories, Canada, and DoDEA schools.
$129 per exam at schools outside the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada (fees may vary at authorized test centers outside the U.S.).

Late order fee

$40 per exam for exams ordered after Nov 14 and through Mar 13 (for full-year/first-semester courses; with listed exceptions).

Unused/canceled exam fee

$40 per exam in the situations College Board defines (for example, canceled after the November deadline, or not taken and marked unused before invoicing).

Fee reductions (if applicable)

The College Board provides a $37 per-exam reduction for eligible students with financial need; the coordinator must mark eligible students in the system by the published deadline.

Additional resources

Use the official College Board website as the source of record for AP Physics 1 exam policies, dates, and updates.
The AP Physics 1 official specification includes the exam format, scoring information, sample questions, and course coverage.
