Frequently Asked Questions
I decided I do not want to take the test anymore. What do I do to cancel it? Please email Stacie Sloniger at StacieSloniger@iusd.org with a quick explanation. Please be reminded that there are no refunds.
If I do not take the exam will it affect me negatively? No, it would be as if you never signed up to take the exam. There is no score recorded so there is no score to submit to your colleges.

Does my AP Exam count as college credits? Possibly. It depends on the college you would like to go to. Please check with your college of choice.
Can I choose a different date or time to take my exam? No, all tests are given at the same date and time worldwide. College Board creates the schedule and we have to follow it.
