2025-26 AP Exam Information
Taking the Advanced Placement exams is an important part of all AP courses. El Dorado High School encourages all students to take AP exams for the AP classes in which they are enrolled. Scoring well on an AP exam can often earn students college credit, enhance the college application, and save a significant amount on tuition.
For the 2026 AP exams, students will register online. This will be a two-step process. The registration will take a few minutes and can be completed from any computer with internet access.
COST: This year each AP exam will cost $99.00. During registration, students have the option to pay for the exam(s) in full or place a $40 deposit per exam.
- Students requiring financial assistance must complete the Free/Reduced Lunch EZMeal Application. To learn more, contact Mrs. Martinson by email at lmartinson@eduhsd.k12.ca.us or visit the El Dorado Counseling Office.
