All requests for Late Testing must be directed to your school’s Testing Coordinator for approval. If approved, the Testing Coordinator will place an order for the alternate exam. Your student must test on the scheduled late-testing day at the scheduled time. There may be a $40 fee associated with approved Late Testing.
Students will not be approved for Late Testing for family trips/vacations, athletic/extracurricular events that are not sponsored by LCPS, conflict with an in-class activity or assessment, failure to attend the exam, or having selected an incorrect AP exam subject when submitting your exam registration.
In situations where Late Testing is requested because of known conflicts, it is imperative to notify your school’s Testing Coordinator as soon as possible for approval. Requests for Late Testing, apart from requests due to unforeseen circumstances, will not be accepted after April 15, 2025.
In the event of student illness or emergency on the day of testing, please notify your school’s Testing Coordinator within 24 hours to request Late Testing. There will be a $40 Unused Exam fee to any AP Exams that a student is registered for and does not take.
