AP math prep timeline, counting back from May 10, 2027

A steady plan beats a last-minute rush. If your child wants a tutor alongside it, our AP Math exams tutoring starts with a free assessment and costs from $85 a month.

  1. By November 13, 2026

    Confirm with the school's AP coordinator that the exam is ordered. Homeschool and self-study students need a school that will test them in an exam-only section.

  2. January to February 2027

    Keep up with class units and add a short weekly mixed review of earlier topics so the first units are not forgotten by May.

  3. March 2027

    Start past free-response questions from AP Central. For Calculus and Precalculus, write full solutions by hand, since free responses go in a paper booklet.

  4. April 2027

    Take a full timed practice exam, then spend the remaining weeks on the weakest units. Statistics students should practice typing free responses.

  5. Final two weeks

    Mixed review, one more timed free-response set, and rest. Confirm your school's start time and room, and check the approved calculator.

AP Math exams dates: common questions

When is the AP Calculus exam in 2027?

AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC are both on Monday, May 10, 2027, in Session 1. For most US schools, including the lower 48 states, Hawaii and Washington, D.C., that means 8 a.m. local time. In Alaska, Session 1 starts at 7 a.m. The late-testing date for both exams is Thursday, May 20, 2027, in the afternoon session.

When are the AP Precalculus and AP Statistics exams in 2027?

Both are on Tuesday, May 11, 2027. AP Precalculus is in the morning session, 8 a.m. local time at most US schools, and AP Statistics is in the afternoon session, 12 p.m. local time. Late testing is Thursday, May 20 (morning) for Precalculus and Friday, May 21 (morning) for Statistics.

What is the deadline to sign up for AP exams?

Schools order AP Exams, not families. College Board's preferred deadline was October 2, 2026, and the final deadline for full-year courses, fall-semester courses and exam-only sections is November 13, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Later orders carry a $40 late fee per exam, with some exceptions. Spring course orders are due March 12, 2027. Ask your AP coordinator about any earlier school deadline.

Are AP math exams digital in 2027?

Yes, in two ways. AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC and AP Precalculus are hybrid digital: students answer multiple-choice questions and view free-response questions in the Bluebook app, then handwrite free responses in paper booklets. AP Statistics becomes fully digital in May 2027, with every part completed in Bluebook. Statistics students can still use an approved handheld graphing calculator alongside the built-in Desmos calculator.

What if my child cannot test on the regular date?

College Board offers late-testing dates for students who cannot test during the first two weeks of May. For 2027, late testing for AP Precalculus, Calculus AB and Calculus BC is Thursday, May 20, and for AP Statistics it is Friday, May 21. The school orders late-testing exams, and the US ordering deadline is May 14, 2027. Early testing is not permitted.

When do AP scores come out?

College Board's 2026-27 timeline says AP scores are released to students, colleges, high schools and districts in July 2027. It gives the month, not an exact day, so watch the AP Students site as summer approaches. AP Exams are scored on a 1 to 5 scale, and each college sets its own credit and placement policy.

How long is the AP Calculus AB exam in 2027?

College Board updated the multiple-choice question count and timing for AP Calculus AB and BC starting with the May 2027 exams. Its AP Calculus AB exam page lists 42 multiple-choice questions in 1 hour 40 minutes and 6 free-response questions in 1 hour 30 minutes, about 3 hours 10 minutes of testing. Some parts allow a graphing calculator and some do not.
