Advanced Placement Test Registration

2026 AP EXAM REGISTRATION

***Registration opened August 27, 2025!***

The Advanced Placement Program (AP) offers students the opportunity to take college-level courses and exams in high school, with the potential to earn college credit and/or advanced placement in courses at many colleges and universities in the US and around the world. The AP Exams administered in May are standardized exams designed to measure how well students have mastered the content and skills of a specific AP course. Most AP courses have an end-of-year paper-and-pencil 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. The exam schedule is provided by the College Board.

Prior to registration, please review the Exam Policies & Guidelines.
