MySchoolBucks.com - DIRECTIONS and ACCESS

To pay for the PSAT/NMSQT or Advanced Placement (AP) exams using MySchoolBucks, you must log into your account, add or select your student, navigate to the school store, and select the specific exam fee to check out.

Because exact fee structures, item names, and deadlines vary by school district, follow this universal process to complete your online payment securely.

Step 1: Log In or Create an Account

  • Open an internet browser and go directly to MySchoolBucks.
  • Click Log In if you already have an active profile.
  • Click Sign Up for Free if you are a new user. You will only need a valid email address and password to begin.

Step 2: Add Your Student to the Profile

  • If you have not done so already, follow the on-screen prompts to Add a Student.
  • Select your specific state, school district, and your student's school building.
  • Enter your student's full legal name and their Student ID number (as registered with the school) to link them securely.

Step 3: Find the Exam Fees in the School Store

  • Locate and click on the School Store icon or tab, which is typically found in the main top navigation menu or on your dashboard.
  • Click Browse All Items.
  • Look specifically for titles labeled "PSAT/NMSQT Exam", "AP Exam Fees", or "Advanced Placement".
  • Note: If you do not see the exam fee listed, do not submit a different payment. Double-check that your student is linked to the correct school and that your district's designated registration window is currently open.

Step 4: Fill Out Exam Details and Add to Cart

  • Click on the exam item.
  • Select the correct student's name from the dropdown menu to assign the fee.
  • If paying for AP exams, you may be prompted to select the specific subject exam(s) your student is taking, or input the total quantity of tests.
  • Review any school-specific text boxes (such as typing the student's grade or teacher's name).
  • Click Add to Cart.

Step 5: Complete the Checkout Process

  • Click on your Shopping Cart icon in the upper right corner and select Checkout.
  • Choose your payment method. MySchoolBucks accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit/debit cards, as well as e-checks.
  • Review your billing info. Keep in mind that school districts often pass along a small processing or service fee at checkout.
  • Click Place Order or Submit Order to process the transaction.
  • Do not close your browser or hit back until you see the final confirmation page and receive a receipt via email.

⚠️ Critical Deadlines & Restrictions

  • Two-Step Registration: For AP exams, paying on MySchoolBucks only handles the money side. Your student must still be registered in their official College Board MyAP Account for an exam to actually be ordered for them.
  • Avoid Late Fees: For AP Exams, missing your school's checkout deadline can result in a $40 late order fee per exam
  • REDUCED AP EXAM FEE:
    • You must apply and be approved by the district for the free or reduced lunch program to qualify for an AP fee reduction.
    • If you believe you qualify for a reduced-fee exam, see Mr. Sidman in the Grade 12 Office (Rm 185) or Ms. Marino in room 168.
