The 2025 AP Exams will be administered in schools over two weeks in May: May 5-9 and May 12-16.
AP coordinators are responsible for notifying students when and where to report for the exams. Early testing or testing at times other than those published by College Board is not permitted under any circumstances. Late testing dates are available if students cannot test during the first two weeks of May. See the late-testing schedule.
