Eligibility

Please review this flowchart to see if you are eligible to take the test.

FUSD students are eligible to sign up for AP exams offered in their home high school. While most students will take each test at their home school, some students may be required to test at a different location. Please follow this procedure below. 

Procedure

  1. Review this list to see the list of AP exams offered at FUSD high schools.
  2. If the AP exam you would like to sign up for is offered at the student’s home school, follow the directions in the section titled “Registration” at the bottom of this document.
  3. If  an FUSD AP exam is NOT offered at the student's home school, go to this Google Form and enter your information. Priority will be given to higher grade level students, however the ability to accept any exam-only self-study requests may be limited due to the College Board’s decision to transition many exams to a digital format. 

You will need to follow these steps for each AP exam for which you want to sign up. Please note that placement of students at other testing locations will be done by FUSD staff.  All students will be placed on a waiting list once enrolled. Students will be removed from the waiting list in the order below. Within each student group, priority will go to students beginning with 12th grade, 11th, 10th, then 9th.

  • Students currently enrolled in the AP class

If you plan to take multiple AP exams, you will need a specific join code per course per teacher per period. 
  • Students must also register/pay on the Total Registration site. If you already created an account last year, please use the same account log in and email.  Using the same join codes mentioned above, you will register and pay for your exams.
