specific subject areas. Each exam includes two sections: multiple-choice
and free-response. These exams are given in May. You must register with
your school in February to let them know if you intend to use your
approved accommodations. Important: If you are approved for
nonstandard-format exams, you should notify the school of the specific
exams you intend to take as soon as possible before March 29 to ensure
timely receipt of materials. For more information about AP exams, review

requirements.
