AP exams

2026-27 AP Exam Information  

AP testing takes place May 3-14, 2027 during the school day at CB South.  Students enrolled in an AP class at any point during the year will receive a “join code” from their assigned teacher.  They will place that "join code" in their student AP CollegeBoard account. AP teachers will assist students in that process. 

Once students have completed digital activation by joining their AP classes, they must pay for the exams in their My Payments Plus (MPP) account. Students MUST BOTH join their course AND pay for the exam in MPP before an exam can be ordered for them.  Please see the Registration and Payment Flowchart for specifics.

Specific dates for payment will be advertised in the principal's newsletter and through class canvas announcements.  Payment periods in My Payments Plus will vary based upon when the student started the AP class (1st marking period, 2nd marking period, or 3rd marking period). 

During testing, students will utilize a testing application called Bluebook (this is the same application used for PSAT and SAT).
