College Board AP – India

About AP

College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) offers college-level courses and exams that students can take while in high school.  Since 1955, AP has enabled millions of students to take U.S. university undergraduate-level courses and earn undergraduate degree credit, advanced placement, or both. Taking AP can help students save money and time as well as stand out to colleges.

Prometric is authorized by AP to offer selected AP Exams to students in May 2024. All students, regardless of their country of residence or school they attend, are welcome to test with Prometric in Singapore.

2024 AP Exam Schedule

AP Exams will be administered as paper & pencil exams only over three weeks in May: May 6 - 10 and May 13 - 17 for Regular Testing, and May 22 - 24 for Late Testing if students cannot test during the first two weeks of May. Early testing or testing at times other than those published by AP is not permitted under any circumstances.

Our center currently does not offer most of the AP Exams that require additional equipment or that have a course portfolio component (language exams, Music Theory, Art and Design, Seminar, and Research).

Our center offers both Regular and Late-Testing.

Registration and Payment Policies:

Before you begin the registration process, please review carefully all the policies below:

• Registration is a two-part process, where you must register for the exam in College Board's My AP system and then navigate to Prometric's system to pay for the exams.
• You must use the same email address on both your College Board and Prometric accounts, and you will need to provide the unique AP ID from College Board to Prometric at the time of payment.
• Payment must be received by Prometric to complete registration and to reserve your seat.
• ONLY tests that have been registered via College Board’s My AP and for which payment has been received by Prometric will be ordered. 
• If you register for an exam in My AP with a join code, but do not pay Prometric directly for the exams, or if you pay Prometric without completing exam registration in My AP, you will not be able to test, and you will not receive any refund. 
• Once registration and payment are completed, you cannot change the subject(s) chosen for the AP Exam(s). 
• You cannot register for the same AP Exam at two different schools or test centers.
• You may register for different exams at more than one school or test center. For example, if Prometric’s India location does not offer an AP Exam you wish to take, you may register at another location where the exam is offered. 
• IMPORTANT! You may register for different exams at more than one school or test center. Use the same College Board account (same AP ID) to register for all exams. You MUST use the same College Board account for all exams, no matter where you take the exam. This ensures all scores are reported together.
