If you elect to mail your payment, TR must receive and process it before the deadline otherwise you’ll need to pay with a card.

You will login with your existing College Board student account (if you have previously taken AP, PSAT or SAT exams) or you will create a new College Board student account. You should have already created an account and joined your course with the code given to you by your teacher in the first month of the course.  Change your exam indicator to yes or no.
