A coordinator's answer isn't automatic. Here is what College Board's guidance says.

Issue 23 put the AP exam ordering deadline on the calendar and named the lead-time problem underneath it: a homeschooled student can't order an AP Exam directly, and a school's AP coordinator has to place the order. This issue covers what College Board's own homeschool testing guidance says about whether a coordinator's answer depends on the school, and what a family does with a no. Plus the Christmas-planning half of Issue 23's advice, which is Every Homeschool's own suggested timeline (this issue cites no institutional deadline for it), and the policy dispatch on the federal tax credit's regulations, published October 2.

Issue 23 named two deadlines and put them on the calendar: the College Board's November 13 AP exam ordering cutoff, and the start of Christmas-season planning. Issue 24 gave a family a checkpoint for the nine-week quarter in between. This issue covers the first of those two deadlines from the side of the call to a school's AP coordinator. College Board's own guidance for homeschooled students tells them to call a local school and ask whether it is allowing homeschooled students to test that year, and notes that schools may have their own local deadlines and policies for outside students. The coordinator-facing guidance describes the steps that apply if a school agrees to order and administer exams for these students. The issue lays out what that guidance says, what a first no means in practice, and the next step, working down the AP Course Ledger rather than treating one school's answer as final. Then it covers why the Christmas-planning half of Issue 23's advice is different: it is Every Homeschool's own suggested timeline, and this issue cites no institutional deadline for it. Plus the policy dispatch: the dates the federal tax credit's proposed and temporary regulations, published October 2, set in motion, including the December 1 comment deadline and the scheduled December 15 hearing; the question that, in Every Homeschool's reading, the proposed rule's definitions leave open for homeschool families; and where North Carolina's scholarship-organization list stands.
