AP Test Sites: How to Find the Nearest One?

How do I find the closest AP test site for my exams? I'm not exactly sure where to look or how the process works. Can somebody help me out?

To find the nearest AP test site for your exams, you should follow these steps:

1. Speak to your school's AP coordinator: If your school offers AP courses and exams, there should be an AP coordinator on staff. They can provide you with information about test sites and any necessary registration procedures to ensure that you have a testing location reserved for your exams.

2. Contact neighboring schools or districts: If your school doesn't offer AP exams, or if you're homeschooled, you'll need to find another local testing site. In this case, reach out to nearby schools or districts that do offer the exams. You can get their contact information from the College Board's AP Coordinator Search tool. Just input your location details and it will provide you with a list of schools and coordinators in your vicinity.

3. Reach out early: It's essential to start this process early, as testing locations may fill up or have deadlines for registering as an outside student. The College Board recommends contacting potential test sites as early as possible, preferably before October if you're planning to take an exam in the spring.

4. Register for your chosen AP exams: Once you've found an AP test site, you will need to register for your exams and pay any associated fees. Your AP coordinator at the chosen test site will provide you with the necessary information and deadlines for registration.

In summary, start by contacting your school's AP coordinator or searching for nearby test sites using the College Board's AP Coordinator Search tool. Ensure you reach out early and follow any registration procedures and deadlines outlined by the coordinator to secure your spot at the testing location.
