AP Exams 2025

Exams are administered in the first two full weeks in May, but registration for exams is in the fall. All CVHS AP students are expected to register for AP exams in AP Classroom. Students will take the exam unless they indicate in AP Classroom that they do not intend to take the exam.  The deadline to indicate that they will not take the exam is Friday, October 4th at 3:00 pm.  The exam cost will be automatically paid through course fees due in the fall. Exams cost $99 each. Late registration and make-up exams will cost extra. Scores will be reported in June/July.

AP Capstone

CVHS offers the prestigious AP Capstone Diploma Program!

AP Capstone is an innovative program that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. It is composed of two year-long courses:

  1. AP Seminar (taken as a sophomore) which provides sustained practice of investigating issues from multiple perspectives and cultivates student writing abilities so they can craft, communicate, and defend evidence-based arguments
  2. AP Research (taken as a junior or senior) which allows students to explore deeply an academic topic, problem, or issue of individual interest and through this inquiry, students design, plan, and conduct a year-long mentored, research-based investigation.

Participating in AP Capstone can help students:

  • Stand out to colleges in the application process.
  • Develop key academic skills they'll use in college and beyond.
  • Become self-confident, independent thinkers and problem solvers.

Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing will receive the AP Capstone Diploma™. This signifies their outstanding academic achievement and attainment of college-level academic and research skills. You can find out more about this opportunity here.

If your student would like to participate in this program as a junior (11th grade) or sophomore (10th grade), please reach out to his/her CV counselor right away.
