2026 College Board AP Exam Schedule

There are two steps to the registration process:

1. Students must first join AP Classroom on their College Board account.  Directions are given by their teacher, and this step is done by the student. Students taking their first AP Exam must first create an account on CollegeBoard.org.
    
2. Pay for the exams on Revtrak through the Lake Forest High School website.

To clarify: Before paying for AP Exams, students must sign in or create a College Board account and join their AP Classroom.  This step is done in class, and instructions are shared by the teacher.  Even if a student pays for an exam, the College Board will not provide an exam unless this step is complete.  Students should complete this step in the first few weeks of school.  If students have an issue accessing or creating their  College Board account, please contact Mrs. La Vitola, dlavitola@lfschools.net, or stop in her office, 205, for assistance.

Beginning Monday, September 15, payment for each exam can be made through Revtrak, https://lakeforest.revtrak.net/ap-exams/#/list, the LFHS payment portal.  Simply click on the link, choose SHOP, and you will see a drop-down for the AP Exams.
