Hello! I'm considering late testing for my AP exams in 2024 due to some personal reasons. Does anyone have experience with late testing? How do I go about requesting it? And, is there any difference between the regular and late exams? I'm a bit worried, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hello! Late testing for AP exams is an option for students who, like you, have personal reasons that prevent them from taking the exam during the regularly scheduled testing window. To request late testing, you should first speak with your school's AP coordinator. They will be able to guide you through the process and submit the necessary request forms on your behalf.
Keep in mind that late testing typically incurs an additional fee. As for the exams themselves, while the content and format will be the same as the regular AP exams, the specific questions will be different to maintain exam security. That being said, you should still feel adequately prepared if you've been studying and doing well in your AP classes.
Many students go through late testing, so don't worry too much about it. Just stay focused on your studies and preparation, and reach out to your AP coordinator as soon as possible to make the necessary arrangements. Good luck!
