  • 2024 Advanced Placement (AP) Exams

    May 6th - May 17th, 2024

    FALL AP EXAM REGISTRATION DEADLINE - Friday, September 29th 2023

    AP students enrolled in full year and first semester AP courses, as well as independent (self study) students, will register and pay for their AP exams in the fall before September 29th, 2023 for AP exams that will be administered in May 2024.

    After the September 29th deadline, students may continue to register for their AP exams until the FINAL registration deadline for ALL students on February 16th, 2024.  However, College Board will charge an additional $40.00 late registration fee for registrations after September 29th (with the exception of AP second semester only courses).

    AP students enrolled in second semester only AP classes that start January 29th will register and pay for their AP second semester only exams during a second registration window beginning January 29th through the February 16th registration deadline.  Parents can pay for the second semester only AP exam at the same time they're paying for other AP exams before the September 29th deadline if they would like to but it is not necessary.  They can also pay for the second semester AP exam in January/February during the second registration window.  Although, just a reminder, the registration will not be complete until the student also joins their AP course online and this cannot be completed until second semester begins January 29th.

    PLEASE NOTE - College Board will be charging a cancellation fee this year and, as a result, refunds will not be issued for students that cancel or decide not to take an exam after the registration deadline.

    STUDENT 2023 AP EXAM SCORE RESULTS

    Beginning July 5th 2023, AP exam scores will be released.  Students can access and view their AP scores and order additional score reports for colleges, universities, and scholarship programs by logging into their online student College Board account at apscore.org.

    Additional information about AP exam scores can also be found on the College Board website.

    Students will be able to:

    • View, download, and print their scores.
    • Send scores electronically to colleges, universities, and scholarship programs.
      • The deadline for students to designate one free score report recipient in their MyAP account is June 20th. 
        • College Board will charge a fee for students to send score reports to additional colleges. The additional score reports will cost $15 for regular processing and $25 for rush processing.
        • The additional score report fee can be paid by credit card.  To pay by check or money order students can mail a written request to AP Services.
      • Review and track their cumulative score report and the status of all orders, which includes scores from all AP Exams they’ve ever taken, unless they’ve canceled or withheld scores.

    Helpful Tips:

    1. Students will need to use their College Board account in order to access their AP scores online at apscore.org.  Students should sign in with the same account they used to register and enroll in their AP class sections.
    2. If a student has forgotten their username or password, they can select the “Forgot Username” or “Forgot Password” links and an email will be sent with their login information. 
    3. Students should not create a new account if they already have one. Duplicate accounts can cause delays in getting AP scores.
    4. If a student changes their email address, it’s important to update it in their College Board account.

    About Sending AP Scores

    Students may indicate one college, university, or scholarship program to receive a FREE copy of their AP score report.   June 20 is the deadline for students to indicate the recipient of their free score report through My AP.

    To do this, students must:

    1. Sign in to MyAP.
    2. Go to MyAP Profile
    3. Click the Score Send tab.
