Click HERE for Calendar of AP Exams given at Irvine High School

1. Do I have to take the AP Exam?   No, AP Exams are not mandatory and will not affect your grade in high school.

2. Do I have to have a College Board Account to take an AP Exam?  YES!!!!  There is no way Irvine HS can order you an exam unless you have a  student account.  Go to apstudents.collegeboard.org

3. 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

4. Can I choose a different date or time to take my exam?  No, all tests are given at the same date and time worldwide.  The College Board creates the schedule and we have to follow it.

5. Can I take an exam for a class that I am not enrolled in?  Yes.  When you purchase the test, you will get an "EXAM ONLY" join code and enter it into your College Board account.  

6. Can I take an exam at another school?  YES.  Please look at the above information "AP Exams offered at other IUSD schools"

7.  I have 2 exams at the exact same time.  What do I do?  If you are taking both tests at Irvine High, contact Mr. King (bobking@iusd.org) he can potentially help you take the test at a later date.  

8. Can I take 2 tests on the same day?  Yes.   As long as they are not at the same time AND they are at the same location.  There is no way that you can take a test in the morning at one school and make it in time to take an afternoon exam at another school.  

9. If I am not prepared, can I choose to take the test at a later time? No

10. Can I take a later exam if I have a conflict, like a championship game scheduled?  Yes, but you will have to make arrangements with Mr. King before March 1.

11. What if I am really sick on exam day?  Please contact Mr. King (bobking@iusd.org)  immediately.   You can take the exam at a later date with proof of a Doctor's note.

12. Are there refunds?  Partially.  College Board charges $40 for any canceled exams.  IUSD is offering refunds minus the $40 up until  February 26.  After February 26, no refunds will be issued.  A refund form will be available to fill out Feb. 20  - Feb. 26.

13. How long are the exams?  Most exams will be between 4 - 4 1/2 hours from check-in time.   This time includes check-in, directions, collection of material, and a break. 

14. IUSD charges more for the exams than the College Board Charges. Where does the money go?  The additional funds cover the cost of hiring proctors, equipment, and supplies for the exam.  It also goes back to the AP student in the form of teacher training,  technology in the classroom, supplies in the classroom, etc.

15.  What do I bring to the Exam?  Please  check back in April for detailed instructions
