"Thank you for contacting AP Services. In accordance with AP Policy, teachers, department chairs, tutors, individuals involved in test preparation services, and educators of any kind (including but not limited to, curriculum specialists, guidance counselors, and administrators) are prohibited from taking or reviewing the content of an AP Exam.

College and post-high school students should consider taking the CLEP exam instead. For details of the CLEP program, visit their web site at: About the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

College and post-high school students may take the AP exam only if they can find a high school willing to admit them. Only the college can let you know whether or not you can obtain credit for an AP exam. Students register for the AP exams through their high school. If you want to take an AP Exam, you must locate a school willing to test you. Once you locate a school willing to administer the exams, that school's AP Coordinator is responsible for ordering your exam materials, telling you when and where to appear for the exams, and collecting your fees (which he or she may negotiate to recover additional proctoring or administration costs). Please contact the AP Coordinator about financial aid information.

Bear in mind, the schools are not obligated to accommodate you. A photo ID is required for students not known personally by the school administrators.

Each school sets their own registration deadlines. For that reason, we suggest you contact the AP Coordinator no later than March 1, 2010. You may contact us in February 2010 from Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 4:45 PM EST toll free at 888-225-5427. Our toll number is (609) 771-7300. We also accept e-mail inquiries, but you must provide a zip code for the area in question.

Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you. If you have additional questions about this issue, please do not hesitate to write us again. Your e-mail should include all previous messages you have received about this issue so we can provide the best possible service."

Sincerely, AP Services
