OP here. What do you understand from the College Board's own words? The bolded is key.

Unused/canceled exam fee

$40 per exam for:

Exams canceled in AP Registration and Ordering after November 15 and by March 15 (11:59 p.m. ET)
Exams that aren't taken and are indicated as unused in AP Registration and Ordering before the school's invoice is generated. (Invoices are generated after late testing ends.)
[b]The original exam fee is removed from the invoice.[/b][/quote]

Did you cancel before March 15th?[/quote]

OP here.

No. Our case falls under number 2 (formatting disappeared when I copied and pasted):
"Exams that aren't taken and are indicated as unused in AP Registration and Ordering before the school's invoice is generated."

This means that regardless of whether someone canceled or not, the College Board just goes ahead and takes $40 from the school if the student does not show up.

And since the school never refunded my $100, it sure as heck isn't getting an extra $40 from me, per exam.

That is called extortion.[/quote]
