AP Exam information for Homeschool Students
The deadline for requesting to test at an HEB ISD school is Friday, October 7, 2022. The deadline for paying for the exam is Wednesday, November 2.
For homeschooled students, or if you go to a school that doesn’t administer AP Exams, you’ll need to arrange to take exams at a local school that does administer them.
For full details, please visit the College Board/ AP webpage titled "I’m homeschooled. How can I take an AP Exam?"
For your convenience, we have copied some of the information from the College Board/AP website below:
Your first step is to search the AP Course Ledger. The AP Course Ledger is the official, up-to-date, comprehensive list of schools that have passed the AP Course Audit. You can search by country, state/province, or city to find a school where you might be able to test. After finding schools near you that offer the course or courses you want to take exams for, do an internet search for the school’s main phone number. Then call and ask to speak with the school’s AP coordinator to ask if the school is allowing homeschooled students to test there this year.
Look for and contact schools as early in the school year as possible. Note that schools may have their own local deadlines and policies for receiving requests from outside students to test at their school, so you’ll want to give yourself as much time as possible to contact schools. Updates will be made to the AP Course Ledger for 2022-2023 in November, so if you still need to find possible schools, you can check the Ledger again in November to see if any schools in your area were added.
