Late-Testing Window
If you have a conflict (school event, illness, religious observance), College Board offers a late-testing window typically the third week of May. Talk to your AP Coordinator before the regular exam date.
When to Start Studying
Most students benefit from starting structured AP prep 8–16 weeks before their exam. That means January for a May exam. Take the AimFive diagnostic to build a personalized study plan for any of 20 AP courses.
