AP EXAMS

  • General Information

    AP exams are designed to test a student’s knowledge in the specific subject area and NCHS strongly encourages all students currently enrolled in an AP course take the corresponding AP exam. Some universities grant college credit to students who score a 3, 4 or 5 out of 5 on the exams.  More universities grant college credit to students who score a 4 or 5 out of 5 on the exams.  Students should always confirm AP credit with their school of choice. Additionally, the experience of taking the exam will be beneficial for the college-bound student. Online registration is required.

    Can I bring a snack?
    Students are encouraged to bring a snack for their break, or a brown-bag lunch, if they are taking more than one exam a day.  Snacks/drinks must be in sealed containers and they will need to be left in the back of the testing room during testing.  Students can take their snack into the hallway during break time.

    A student who gains access to their phone, or has a phone that sounds (ring/text/alert), at any time during the exam or break, will be dismissed from the exam and an irregularity report will be submitted to Collegeboard which will result in the score being canceled.
