For the Vancouver School District to provide the opportunity for Vancouver School Board students who are self-studying to write AP Exams in 2025, the following steps will be implemented to comply with the College Board requirements.

 STEP 1 – Paying to write the exam

 It is the student's responsibility to keep updated with AP announcements and directions.  Therefore, it is essential to provide an accurate email address for communication purposes.

 Step 2 – Ordering the exam(s)

Following receipt of payment, on the next business day students will be contacted through the email address provided with their payment and will be provided a JOIN CODE for each exam they are preparing to write in May 2025.  At this point, the student will set up a College Board account at https://myap.collegeboard.org/login and provide personal information to the College Board for their records.  Use your legal first and last name as it appears on your identification.  The student will then enrol themselves in the exam subject.  Students MUST use the SAME email address for College Board account creation as provided for exam payment.

*Both steps must be completed to order the exam.  If Step 2 is not completed within 72 hours of receiving Join Code email, students will forfeit their registration fee, and registration will be cancelled*   Please note that no regular exams can be ordered after February 28th, 2025. *Step 2 MUST be completed by Monday, March 3rd or registration will be forfeited.* 

STEP 3 – Writing the Exam

For May 2025 all registered exam-only students will write their exams at the scheduled time at Vancouver Technical Secondary School (2600 E Broadway, Vancouver BC, V5M 1Y5) in the small gym.  Students must arrive no later than 15 minutes before their exam is scheduled.  Please bring a government-issued photo ID to the exam (e.g. Driver’s License, Passport, Certificate of Canadian citizenship or Permanent Resident Card).  Students will not be permitted to write the exam without a photo ID.  Check the seating plan for your assigned testing seat before you enter the testing area.  No personal electronic devices are permitted inside the exam area except for approved calculators.  Latecomers will not be permitted to enter.   

EACH STUDENT will use a VSB owned computer to access the exam using College Board BLUEBOOK software.  Students MUST know their College Board LOGIN information to write the exam, no exceptions. Exam proctors are not able to support login challenges.

Please note that the exam payment is non-refundable under any circumstances.  Therefore, students must be sure they are committed to preparing to write the exam(s) in May.

It is the student's responsibility to keep updated with AP announcements and directions.  Therefore, it is essential to provide an accurate STUDENT email address for communication purposes.  

***It is HIGHLY recommended that students download Bluebook test software to a personal computer and become familiar with the interface PRIOR to writing the exam.***
