Do you need your AP number to take your AP exam?

Hello all,

I’ve mistakenly misplaced my AP number. I’m still looking for it at home, but not hopeful. Do I need my AP number to take my exam? I tried calling the Collge Board to get my number but their phone line is currently closed, and the other way I’ve seen to get it is to look at your packet, but I don’t get that until I take the test.

Thank you,

Did you loose the AP student packet(the booklet with the stickers)? In my school the teachers keep it.

You need the student packet, but not the slip with your number for the AP test. The slip is for checking your scores in July.

Okay thank you! We gave our teachers all of our booklets, so if I remember to write down my number or remember it tomorrow I can get my scores in July no problem?

I lost the little sticker with the barcode on it, as we gave our packets to our teachers.

Yeah the sticker with the barcode is only for you to check your scores, the teachers will give you your packet at the test center. Or at least that’s how its done in my school.

I guess you can write down your number if you forgot, or maybe just ask your teacher about it.

Okay thank you, you’ve eased my stress greatly. Just to clarify (sorry!) I do not need anything tomorrow (except a pencil, eraser, etc) IF I handed my booklet to my teacher. I just have to make sure to get my code for when I want my scores in July.

Sorry for the questions, I’m just obviously stressed over this and you’ve been incredibly helpful.

Don’t worry I had the same experience last year.

All you need is a pencil & eraser, and depending on your test you also need a pen/calculator. Also, I didn’t need identification in my school but I’m not too sure about other schools. Don’t bring phones.

Thank you!
