For all May 2024 exams, students will be charged for unused exams. Meaning, if a student fails to show for their AP exam, the student's account will be charged a fee of $40.
All exams take place in May 2024 and dates are posted on the AP College Board website.
The reason for this change is because, the state of South Carolina will only pay for students enrolled in an AP course at a South Carolina public school who then take the corresponding AP Exam.
