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

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!  After you purchase the test you must get an "EXAM ONLY" join code and enter it into your College Board account.  You can get your EXAM ONLY code from Irvine High School when you purchase your exam.

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?  Maybe. The event must be school related and the date must be out of your control such as a school sport championship game, but you will have to make arrangements with Mr. King as soon as you find out.
