College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Exam
About
AP Exams are standardized exams designed to measure how well you’ve mastered the content and skills of a specific AP course. Most AP courses have an end-of-year exam, but a few courses have different ways to assess what you’ve learned—for example, AP Art and Design students submit a portfolio of work for scoring.
Participation
The AP Exams are available to all students interested in taking the exam. While taking the corresponding AP course is recommended, it is not required.
Testing Window: 5/4/2026 - 5/15/2026
