AP Exam
This online course does not include the AP exam. If the student's local school does not coordinate AP exams, the student should call AP Central's customer service (1.888.255.5427, then 0) to obtain contact information for coordinators at nearby schools willing to coordinate exams for non-enrolled students. Students will then need to call those coordinators (by early March) to determine if their AP subject exam will be offered (not all coordinating schools offer all possible AP exams). Students should expect to pay all associated exam fees.

Clallam Bay High & Elementary Student - 11/19/07 
It's a good course, but some of the things within the course are not explained very well and then on the tests since it wasn't explained well I won't be able to get the question right sometimes. So this is kind of hard and not having a teacher makes it hard to get help without being behind but overall I really like the class so far.
