AP Exam Registration & Payment Is NOW Open

If your student is enrolled in an Advanced Placement class at CKHS, taking the AP exam in May gives them an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and, depending on their score and the college, potentially earn college credit or placement—which can save both time and money in college.

AP exam registration and payment is open September 14th through November 6, 2026. If your student is enrolled in an AP course, we encourage you to review the information and consider registering for the exam.

For important details about AP exams, registration, payment, deadlines, and frequently asked questions, please review our Parent/Student AP Newsletter.
