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 2025. All students, regardless of their country of residence or school they attend, are welcome to test with Prometric in Turkey (Istanbul).

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 AP Exams at more than one school or test center. For example, if Prometric's Turkey (Istanbul) location does not offer an AP Exam you wish to take, you may regsiter at another location where the exam is offered. 
  • IMPORTANT! You MUST use the same College Board account (same AP ID, legal name, email address) to register for all exams across different test centers. This ensures all scores are reported together no matter where you test. The name on the College Board student account must match the name on the required identification that you will bring on exam day.
