Quick question! I'm juggling a lot right now and kind of stressed about missing deadlines - does anyone know when AP exam registration ends? I need to decide which ones I'm taking this year. If you've been through this before, some advice would be super helpful!
Hi there! I understand that keeping track of all these deadlines can be really stressful, but you're doing the right thing by reaching out for information. Generally, the deadline to register for AP exams is in early November for full year and first semester courses, with the possibility of a late registration period ending in early March, albeit often with a late fee. For second semester courses, the deadline may extend further into the year. However, it's essential to check with your school as the exact dates can vary. Some schools set internal deadlines to organize the ordering process, so make sure to reach out to your AP Coordinator or guidance counselor for the specific dates applicable to your school. As for advice, I recommend that you consider both your workload and how confident you feel in the material when deciding which exams to take. It's important to challenge yourself, but it's also crucial to avoid overcommitting so that you can perform your best. An example would be if you're confident and interested in three subjects but only have time to fully prepare for two, choose the two that you're both interested in and will be able to showcase your best abilities. Last but not least, take a deep breath and remember that this is just one step in a much larger journey. You've got this!
