2026-2027 AP Exam Registration Write Up

Canada Star Secondary is an official AP exam test center open to all students, both internal and external. Over the two weeks of testing in May 2027 (May 3–7 and May 10–14), students, regardless of their school enrollment status, will write their exams with us. A detailed registration guide is outlined below. 

Please note that all students are fully responsible for their own exams. Because late testing is not available, students must stay up to date with AP announcements, directions, and exam schedules, as all exam fees are strictly non-refundable, and full commitment to the May 2027 test date is required. Additionally, due to facility limitations, Canada Star Secondary DOES NOT provide SSD accommodations. Students requiring specialized accommodations are strongly advised to contact the College Board directly to locate an alternative testing center.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All exams have sections written online. Please ensure you have a laptop with at least 4 hours of battery life and any accessories required to complete the exam. Review the College Board Exam Day Guidelines for complete details.

For any general AP questions, please contact apexam@canadastarsecondary.ca. Please do not call the school for AP inquiries.
