2024-2025 AP Exam Information
AP exams will be administered in May 2025. All students currently in an AP class at OCSA are eligible to take a corresponding AP exam. Because there is a sizable monetary obligation associated with taking AP exams and extensive study time involved, it is essential for students and parents to discuss and determine how many exams the student can realistically manage. Students are encouraged to register only for those exams they are committed to taking. It is important to note that not all colleges accept AP scores for college credit; OCSA counselors can provide additional information and clarity. An AP bulletin with additional information can be accessed on the College Board website.
PURCHASING AN EXAM – Students wishing to take an AP exam this year should register and pay for the exam(s) on OCSA's Student Store at MySchoolBucks.com beginning September 3. The cost for each exam is $110, with the exception of AP Research and AP Seminar; the cost for each of these exams is $155. If your family qualifies for FRLP, the fee is $100 for AP Research and Seminar, $55 for all others. When ordering exams, we highly encourage both student and parent to be present to ensure that the correct exams are ordered. Please print/save the emailed receipt of payment for your records as students may be asked for this for future reference or refunds. The priority deadline for purchasing an exam is Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Exams purchased between October 28 and March 2, 2025 will incur a $40 late fee per exam. No exams will be purchased after March 2, 2025.
