AP Exam Schedule
AP exams will be held held May 4th - May 15, 2026. View the AP Exam Schedule for more details.
AP Testing Registration
AP College Board exams are administered at school in May 2026. FHS strongly recommends that students take the AP test that aligns with their AP class. More information about registration will be available later.
The cost of each AP Exam is $99. You may be eligible for a fee waiver that reduces the cost from $99 to $62 per exam. Connect with your counselor to find more information about how to receive this waiver.
Please note: These fees are set by the CollegeBoard, not FHS.
AP courses provide an opportunity for students to pursue college-level studies, as well as possibly earn college credit and/or advanced academic placement. Falmouth High School’s dedicated AP teachers play a vital role in ensuring that AP courses align with college-level standards, and help students develop and apply the skills, abilities and content knowledge they will need later in college. Each AP course concludes with a college-level exam - an essential part of the AP experience. For more information regarding the AP Program please visit the CollegeBoard website.
