Accommodations:
Does your AP student have documented accommodations for taking tests? Those accommodations may not automatically be approved for AP exams. Check in the Success Center if you have questions about your student's status. Obtaining approval for accommodations is a lengthy process that needs to begin by late fall in order to meet College Board deadlines.
Home-Schooled Students and Students from Other School Districts:
We welcome you to test at LHS SUBJECT TO AVAILABLE SPACE and SUBJECT EXAMS being administered in a particular year. Be aware that College Board policies allow for additional fees to be charged for students not attending LHS. You should contact the AP Coordinator by October 15, 2021, if you wish to apply to take AP exams at Lincoln HS.
2026 AP Exam schedule:
The 2026 AP Exams will be administered over two weeks in May: May 4 through 8 and May 11 through 15. Early testing or testing at times other than those published by the College Board is not permitted under any circumstances. The table shows exams that may be administered (there are other subject exams not shown).
Policies for administering alternate AP Exams:
Occasionally, circumstances make it necessary for students to test late. Situations under which the AP Program authorizes schools to conduct late testing appear below. To preserve the security of AP Exams, alternate forms are used for late testing. All students who participate in late testing at a given school must take these alternate exams on the scheduled late-testing dates at the scheduled times. Early testing is not permitted under any circumstances. Visit the late-testing schedule for the complete list of dates.
Reasons for which late testing (using an alternate form of the exam) will and will not be allowed are listed below. Only those students affected by the conflict may test late; all other students must test on the regularly scheduled date.
Some circumstances are generally beyond the control of school officials and students. In such cases, there will be no additional fee for using an alternate form of the exam. Other circumstances are those in which schools or students generally have a choice between accepting the scheduled date and requesting an alternate date. When such situations arise, the school will be billed an additional $45 for each exam to partially defray the costs of developing, scoring, and shipping these alternate exams.
Reasons for late testing:
No additional fee:
- Conflict with International Baccalaureate (IB) exam
- Conflict with state-, province-, or nationally-mandated tests
- Disabilities accommodation issue
- Emergency: bomb scare or fire alarm
- Emergency: serious injury, illness, or family tragedy
- Language lab scheduling conflict
- Religious holiday/observance
- School closing: election, a national holiday, or natural disaster
- Strike/labor conflict
- Three or more AP Exams on the same date
- Two AP Exams on the same date and time
· Additional $45 fee per exam:*
- Academic contest/event
- Athletic contest/event
- Conflict with non-AP and non-IB exam
- Family commitment
- Ordering error
- Other school events
- School closing (local decision, non-emergency)
* Students who qualify for College Board fee reductions will not incur the $45 charge if alternate testing is required for one of these reasons.
