​

• AP Exams are designed for students currently enrolled in College Board AP courses, but may also be appropriate for students who have learned the requisite knowledge in other ways (home-school, self-study, etc)

​

• This year, exams will take place May 4 – May 15, 2026

Registration for MIHS Students �who are enrolled in MIHS AP Courses�

​

• Students can confirm their AP Exam Registration by logging into their College Board account here: https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/

​

• Note Registration DOES NOT obligate students to take AP exams in the Spring because payment is also required before an exam will be ordered.
• Registration DOES allow student access to supplemental College Board AP course study materials.

• Mercer Island resident students taking AP courses online or at other high schools
• MI resident home-schooled students
• MI resident students who have prepared on their own for exams
• Including MIHS students who study AP Course material not taught at MIHS (such as AP World History, AP Latin)

Next Step: Payment

​

​

Check for Conflicts. Do You:

​

• Plan to take two exams that are being offered at the same time?
• Have back-to-back exams AND extended-time accommodations?
• Have a family event or other personal conflict that you cannot reschedule (such as a wedding, planned college visit etc)? Birthdays don’t count, sorry!
• Have a school or athletic event you cannot reschedule?

​

• If so, contact Debbie Hanson (debbie.hanson@mercerislandschools.org) before paying. You will need a late-testing date for one or more exams. Additional fees may apply.
