2024 AP Exam Dates

2024 AP^® Exam Dates

Read on for everything we know so far about the 2024 AP Exams.

Is there anything different about the 2024 AP Exams?

The 2024 AP Exams will follow the same general format as the 2023 paper-and-pencil exams: All 2024 AP Exams will be held in-school with initial test times spread over the first two weeks in May.

Digital AP Exam Subjects

• AP Computer Science Principles
• AP English Language
• AP English Literature
• AP European History
• AP Seminar
• AP U.S. History
• AP World History
• AP African American Studies (2023-24 pilot schools only)

It will be up to your school  to determine whether you take a digital exam, a paper-and-pencil exam, or have the option of both.

If your school offers digital AP Exams, they will be administered at your school under the same conditions and schedule as the paper-and-pencil exams. The format, number of questions, types of questions, and timing of the digital exams will be the same as paper exams.

Where will I take my AP Exam?

All AP Exams are to be taken in person, in students’ schools.

When will I take my AP Exam?

Each subject’s exam will occur at a set local time, so some students taking the same exam may not take them simultaneously. For example, while a student who lives on the east coast will take her paper-and-pencil AP U.S. History Exam at 8:00 AM EDT, a student who lives on the west coast would take his AP U.S. History Exam at 8:00 AM PDT, three hours later. The same applies to international students.

What if I have a scheduling conflict?

If you are taking more than one AP Exam, and two of those AP Exams are scheduled at the same time, your AP Coordinator will be able to register you for a late testing date. Similarly, if circumstances prevent you from taking your test on the original test date, check with your AP Coordinator to see if you qualify for rescheduling a late test.
