College Board has confirmed that a 2027 AP® Exam schedule is coming, but the exact calendar is not public yet. College Board has also confirmed that AP® Business with Personal Finance and AP® Cybersecurity exams will be administered in May 2027. Until the official subject-by-subject schedule is released, do not rely on copied 2026 dates, projected day-by-day grids, or unofficial subject calendars.
What you can plan around now:
The details below should remain unconfirmed until College Board publishes the 2027 calendar:
| Pending Detail | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Subject-by-subject exam dates | Determines your study order and possible conflicts |
| Late-testing subject schedule | Needed if you have conflicts or approved circumstances |
| AP Seminar, AP Research, and AP CSP deadlines | These courses include submitted work before exam scoring |
| AP Art and Design portfolio deadline | Art portfolios have a separate final submission deadline |
| AP Career Kickstart course project and credential details | AP Business with Personal Finance and AP Cybersecurity are new courses, so schools should confirm requirements with College Board and AP Coordinators |
| Exact AP score release date | Scores usually arrive in July, but the exact date can vary |
You can still build a useful plan before the official calendar is available.
Avoid building a final study calendar around unofficial dates. A draft plan is useful, but your final exam order should come from College Board's official schedule and your school's instructions.
Most AP® exam days are split into morning and afternoon administrations.
| Administration | Typical Start Time | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | 8:00 AM local time | Schools usually ask students to arrive earlier for check-in |
| Afternoon | 12:00 PM local time | Students may need to bring lunch or plan around a shorter break |
All times are local unless College Board says otherwise. Your school may ask you to arrive 45-60 minutes before the listed start time so proctors can check IDs, seat students, and read instructions.
Some AP® courses include work that must be submitted before or during the exam season. For 2027, the exact deadlines have not been announced yet.
Watch these courses carefully:
| Course | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| AP Seminar | Performance task submission deadline |
| AP Research | Performance task submission deadline |
| AP Computer Science Principles | Create performance task deadline |
| AP Art and Design | Portfolio final submission deadline |
| AP Business with Personal Finance | Course project and exam-day validation details |
| AP Cybersecurity | Course, exam, and credential details |
Teachers often set earlier classroom deadlines than College Board. Follow your teacher's deadline first so you have time to fix upload or submission issues.
Late testing is not a backup for feeling unprepared. It is for approved conflicts and qualifying circumstances.
You may need to talk to your AP Coordinator if:
Once the 2027 calendar is posted, compare every subject you plan to take. If anything overlaps, contact your AP Coordinator right away and ask for written confirmation of your testing plan.
Check College Board's calculator policy and your school's rules before exam day.
Exact exam lengths vary by subject, but most AP® exams take about two to three hours.
| Exam Length | Common Examples |
|---|---|
| About 2 hours | Some art, music, and physics exams |
| About 2.5 hours | Many AP courses |
| About 3 hours | Biology, Chemistry, English, and history courses |
| 3+ hours | Some world language exams with listening or speaking components |
Your proctor will manage the clock. Your job is to know your room, arrive early, and bring the right materials.
College Board has not announced the exact 2027 AP® score release date yet. AP® scores usually become available in early July after the May exam administration.
