Why take an AP Exam?
While AP exams are considered optional, we strongly encourage our students to take AP exams because of the potentially significant time-saving and money-saving benefits that can come in the form of earning college credits. The AP Credit Policy Search is a helpful tool in determining which colleges accept AP credit. You can also search by university to determine the equivalent college course for each AP exam score.
How much does an AP Exam cost?
The cost per AP exam is $99. Students qualifying for free or reduced school fees will pay $62 per exam.
