Questions about Your Student Pack

• What if I test at more than one test center? Use the same 2018 AP Number at all test centers. For example, if you test at a Delhi test center and then go to Mumbai for another AP Exam, bring your Student Pack and/or AP Number from the Delhi Test Center with you. Do not accept a new Student Pack/AP Number from the second test center.

• What if I lose my Student Pack or AP Number? If you lose your Student Pack or if you run out of stickers, you can write your AP Number on your answer sheets and booklets. If you lose or forget your AP Number, ask your test center supervisor.

• Is my AP Number the same every year? No, you get a new Student Pack/AP Number every year. If you took AP exams in 2017, do not use your 2017 AP Number. For all May 2018 exams, use only your 2018 AP Number.
