Frequently asked questions

When are the College Board AP exams in May 2027?

The College Board AP exams run from Monday, 3 May 2027 to Friday, 14 May 2027, across 38 subjects and 38 papers.

What time do the exams start?

At most schools — including every school in the lower 48 US states, Hawaii and Washington, D.C. — Session 1 exams start at 8 a.m. local time and Session 2 exams at 12 p.m. local time, and can begin up to an hour later. From 2027, some other locations (such as Alaska and many international schools) start at times set by their time zone, so check your school in College Board's AP Exam start time lookup.

What if two of my exams are in the same session?

AP schedules several exams in each session, so you can't sit two of them at once. Your AP coordinator orders a late-testing exam for one of them instead — College Board publishes the late-testing dates. The planner above flags these clashes.

Is this my official timetable?

It's the exam board's published timetable. Your school's version is the one that counts for you: it confirms your room, the exact start time and any access arrangements, such as extra time, which aren't included here.
