2024-25 Advanced Placement Exam Information

Should My Student Take an AP Exam?

AP Testing is highly encouraged, but not required for students currently enrolled in an Advanced Placement course at BHS. Per the College Board, AP courses offer the opportunity to study a subject in-depth at the college level. This better prepares students for college work. 


AP Exam Payment Deadline

Wednesday November 6, 2024 (5:00 p.m. CT) is the final deadline for all BHS students to pay for an AP exam.

In order for the BHS AP Coordinators to complete the process for ordering all AP exams by this national deadline, the district needs to finalize all payments from students by Wednesday, November 6, 2024. The only exception made for late registration is for new students from another district that enter mid-year.

College Board May 2025 AP Exam Schedule.

BHS will administer late AP exams during the College Board’s late AP testing window of May 19-23, 2025.  These exams will only be administered for students who were already registered for an exam but could not take the exam during the regular testing window due to scheduling conflicts such as OSAA sanctioned playoffs.

Digital Administration

The College Board has transitioned to administering the Advanced Placement (AP) Exams on computers. To see a full list of AP Exams “going digital”, please visit the College Board website: “2025 Exams: How Will They Work?”

Request Accommodations for AP Exams

To take an AP Exam with accommodations, a student must be approved for each accommodation by the College Board’s Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office. Each student must work with their high school’s AP or SSD Coordinator to ensure their request for accommodations has been accurately submitted by the College Board deadline of January 24, 2025. Please visit College Board’s website to learn more about the different ways to request accommodations for AP exams for your student.

Note that if a student has previously been approved for an accommodation for any of the other College Board exams (e.g. PSAT/SAT, CLEP, etc.), then the student automatically qualifies for the same accommodation for all AP exams and no further action is required.

If a student recently qualified for new accommodations, a request must be submitted by the family or the high school’s SSD Coordinator to the College Board no later than January 24 2025.
