How do I register for AP exams as a private candidate in the UAE?

To register for AP exams as  a private or home-schooled candidate in the UAE, you need to find an authorized local school or test center that is willing to proctor your exams, as you cannot register directly through the option training website.

If you’re registering as a private or homeschooled candidate in the UAE, you cannot register directly through the College Board website. Instead, you must arrange your AP exam registration through an authorized school or AP test centre that is willing to accept private candidates. The AP coordinator at the testing school will help you complete the registration process, collect the exam fees, and provide your exam schedule and testing instructions.

To register for AP exams as a private candidate in the UAE:

• Find an authorized AP school or approved AP test centre.
• Contact the school’s AP coordinator as early as possible, since schools may have their own registration deadlines and policies for external candidates.
• Complete the required College Board registration steps through the testing school.
• Submit the required identification documents and pay the applicable AP exam fees.
• Receive confirmation of your exam registration, reporting instructions, and test schedule from the AP coordinator.
