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.
