Important RAHS AP Exam Dates to Remember: 2024-2025 Updates Coming Soon

• Fall:
  • Early/Mid September: Students will create an online College Board account and join their AP class section during their AP classes at school.
  • Late September: AP teachers will distribute AP test registration forms to students at school; students will also receive information and hyperlinks via school email from RAHS Counseling Staff. Students have the option to take a College Board AP exam in May. The registration fee is $99 per exam without late fees. More information about exam fees is available on the College Board AP website.
    • RAHS AP Test Registration Form (Versión en español)
  • Early November (Friday 11/1/2024) is the RAHS AP test registration and fee payment deadline (without late fees). Students wishing to take College Board AP exams in May must complete the test registration form and submit their test registration fee payment to the School Counseling Office by this date to avoid any late fees. The student must also create an online College Board account and join the appropriate AP class(es) by this date.
    • Students who receive free and reduced-priced school meals may be eligible for AP exam fee waivers. Please contact the RSD Food Service department to determine if you are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals.
    • There is a $40 late fee per test plus the $99 per test registration fee for registrations submitted after RAHS submits the initial test order to the College Board; fee waivers and refunds will not apply to late-order fees. Late order changes will typically be accepted at RAHS through early March.
    • If a student chooses not to take an exam after the test has been ordered, requests for a partial refund (less the $40 unused test / cancelation fee) must be submitted in writing to RAHS Counseling Staff; the request must be signed by a parent/guardian. If eligible, RAHS will issue refund payments after the AP test window has ended in late May or early June. Late fees and cancelation fees are not refundable.
    • Please contact Ms. Imhoff if you have any questions or concerns about paying for AP test fees prior to the RAHS AP test registration deadline.
• Mid-January (Friday 01/17/2025): Students with disabilities must submit requests for testing accommodations to the College Board by this date.
• Early March (Friday 03/7/2025 by 3:30 p.m.): RAHS Counseling will accept late test registration requests and payments until this date. An additional $40 per-test late fee applies; fee waivers and refunds do not apply to late fees.
  • Tests cannot and will not be ordered after this final deadline. Students who do not submit a test registration form and full payment by the March deadline will not be able to take a College Board AP test at RAHS in 2025.
• April: Students registered to take AP exams will receive more information about test preparation, policies, formats, times and locations of the exams at RAHS in May. They should be checking their school email accounts on a regular basis.
• May: College Board AP testing at RAHS (see schedule below).
  • Students are expected to read, understand, and follow all RAHS and College Board AP testing policies and guidelines. 
  • RAHS will only offer late testing to eligible students per the College Board’s Late-Testing Policies. Additional fees may apply. Students must speak to Ms. Abby Imhoff as soon as possible if they must consider late testing.
  • Unused or canceled tests are charged a $40 per test cancelation fee, which is not refundable.
• Early June is the last day to request a partial AP test registration fee refund (if the student opted out of an exam or was absent for a test). Refund requests submitted after the close of business hours on the date of the deadline will not be honored and the student/family will forfeit their test registration fees. 
• Early July: The College Board will begin releasing AP test scores on this date. The release date is dependent on the student's test location, date and format. Students obtain their AP scores online. For more information, visit apscore.org and follow AP on Twitter @APforStudents.
