Advanced Placement (AP®) Exams

AP® exams are typically held during the first two weeks of May each year, with designated exams offered during designated times on designated days. See the exam Calendar at the link above.
It is strongly encouraged that students discuss their exam plans with teachers in the corresponding coursework, their advisor, and/or their guidance counselor.
The cost of an AP® exam is $110

For students who do not yet have a learning plan in place, please contact AP Coordinator Caitlin Prillaman or Kersten Biehn for further information. Students must have a current learning plan on file with the Upper School to apply for College Board testing accommodations.
