AP® Exams: It’s Not Too Late! What Your Student Needs To Know This Fall

If you’re concerned about it being too late to enroll in a full-year Advanced Placement® (AP®) class, don't worry! ALVS offers students the ability to start now and work at their own pace, with the support of experienced teachers and our high-quality digital courses. Our courses are designed to help students feel confident and prepared to take the AP exam in May. 

Here are some helpful tips to make sure that your child is ready to take the AP exam next spring:

✓ Find an AP^® coordinator to get your child registered.

Your school counselor should be able to help you get your child registered. Register for AP exams by November 15, 2023. 

✓ Mark your calendar for AP^® Exams in May 2024.

The 2024 AP^® Exams will be administered in schools over two weeks in the spring of 2024 (May 6–10 and May 13–17). 

✓ Study for the AP^® Exam!

ALVS students have access to AP Classroom, a suite of College Board resources and digital tools that teachers can use throughout the year to help prepare your child for the AP exam. Students have access to the AP® Classroom even if they complete their AP course prior to the spring exam date.

Within the “Exam Preparation” section of the course, you’ll find a range of practice materials and resources, including scoring guidelines and student responses, how the test will be structured, and strategies for success on the exam.
