Criteria for Late AP Exams 2026

We have limited space for administration of late tests and may not be able to seat all students if too many students are impacted by serious illness or injury. Students are expected to take AP exams at the regularly scheduled time unless there are extenuating circumstances.  

Late Exams

Circumstances sometimes make it necessary for students to take the test late. Alternate versions of the exams are used for late testing. All late tests are administered centrally following the College Board published late test schedule.  

Two exams on the same day

The College Board schedules morning and afternoon tests each day.  If the tests are administered at the school site there is sufficient time to complete the morning test, have lunch and complete the afternoon test.  It is expected that students will take both exams.  If there is a technical glitch and the morning test runs so late that a student does not get a minimum 30 minutes for lunch we will provide a late exam for the afternoon test.   

Late exams scheduled without additional fees

When the cause of late testing is beyond the control of the school and the student, the College Board does not add a fee.  These circumstances include: 

• Academic contest/event
• Athletic contest/event
• Conflict with IB or Cambridge exam 
• Conflict with nationally, province-, or state-mandated test 
• Delayed shipment
• New for 2025: Digital testing logistics
• Disabilities accommodations issues
• Emergency: bomb scare or fire alarm
• High school graduation
• Language lab scheduling conflict
• Makeup AP Exam due to an incident during the initial exam
• Religious holiday/observance
• School closing: election, national holiday, or natural disaster
• Serious injury, illness, or family tragedy
• Strike/labor conflict
• Student court appearance
• 2 or more AP Exams on the same date at the same time

Acceptable situations in the “serious injury, illness or family tragedy” category include some that are known ahead of time:  

• student is in the hospital  
• medical appointment with a specialist that cannot be rescheduled for health reasons  
• attend a family medical appointment related to a close relative’s treatment plan 
• serious illness/death of close family member, attend funeral  

Additionally, there are situations that arise without warning: i.e., a student is seriously ill/injured on the day of the test. Please provide a doctor's note in the event of same day illness.  

Late fee applied

The College Board charges a $40 fee for reasons not listed above, including but not limited to:  

• pre-arranged family event out of the area requiring travel, i.e., the wedding of a close family member, college graduation of an immediate family member, college visit. Failure to have College Board username and password to sign on to the exam will also result in a $40 late fee to reschedule for late testing.
