Taking Advanced Placement (AP) exams is an important part of all AP courses. Grayslake North High School strongly encourages all students enrolled in an AP course to take the AP exam in May 2025. Scoring well on the AP exam can often earn students college credit, saving a significant amount on tuition. Specific information about AP exam dates, course credit, and placement information for individual colleges and universities can be found at  www.collegeboard.org. 

AP exam registration is currently taking place through the student AP Classroom online account and will close on Thursday, October 31, 2024.

Registration for AP Exams is not complete until BOTH steps are completed. 

  1. Students must log into AP Classroom (https://myap.collegeboard.org/login) and individually select YES for each course exam.
