Late testing

College Board runs a late-testing window the following week for students with a documented conflict — two exams in the same session, illness, or a school closure. Late testing is arranged through your school's AP coordinator, not requested by you directly.

When 2027 scores come out

AP scores are usually released in early-to-mid July, roughly six to eight weeks after the exams, on a rolling basis rather than all at once. They appear in your College Board account.

How long you have left

• September–December 2026: core content. Aim to have most of the course covered before winter break.
• January–March 2027: writing. One graded DBQ, LEQ or FRQ a week, using the rubric to find the points you keep missing.
• April 2027: full timed practice exams, reviewing every wrong answer by concept.
• May 2027: light review only — rubric criteria, vocabulary, formula sheets.

Dates above are College Board's published 2027 schedule. Confirm your own exam with your AP coordinator and check College Board's exam dates page — individual exams occasionally move.
