AP Exam Dates 2027

Every course, its date and its session. Exams run over two weeks in May — May 3–7, 2027 and May 10–14, 2027.

Session 1

8 a.m. local time

Session 2

12 p.m. local time

Late testing

May 17–21, 2027

Start times are local to your school, not a fixed moment — a friend two states away sits the same paper at the same local hour. Your school sets the room and arrival time, so treat this as the calendar and your coordinator as the authority.
