Administered in May by The College Board, Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams give you the chance to earn college credit while still in high school and helps put you on the fast track to a college degree.

2021 AP Exams:
The 2021 AP Exams will be administered digitally for Science Academy students. However, unlike last year’s modified versions, this year’s digital exams will be full length and test the same knowledge and skills as paper and pencil exams, in a format-appropriate manner. You can read more about the Digital Exams here and get the AP Digital Testing Guide here.
The standard cost for this year’s AP Exam is $95 per exam. Families that qualify for fee reduction will be contacted directly. Additionally, if non-income eligible students need to request a fee waiver due to changing financial circumstances during COVID, please complete the Attachment E form to justify providing a fee waiver to a student in need.
Please return completed Attachment E forms and direct any testing-related questions to Mr. Lamb, our testing coordinator.
*If your student that is NOT planning to take a certain exam, please inform the teacher, administration and Mr. Lamb ASAP so they may make the necessary adjustments to the exam enrollment.
