2022-2023 AP Exam Information
AP exams will be administered in May 2023. All students currently in an AP class at OCSA are eligible to take a corresponding AP exam. Because there is a sizable monetary obligation to taking AP exams and extensive study time involved, it is important for both 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. An AP bulletin will be distributed to students in their AP classes in January and can also 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 July 18. The cost for each exam is $98, with the exception of AP Research and AP Seminar; the cost for each of these exams is $146. If your family qualifies for FRLP, the fee is $100 for AP Research and Seminar, $53 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 your 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 Monday, October 31 at 9:00 p.m. Late registration will run from December 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023 and will incur a $40 late fee per exam.
