Testing

Registration for AP exams will be from September 11 through September 29. This early registration window is mandated by College Board for all AP programs, and is not the decision of FUHSD or its schools. AP exams will take place from May 6 to May 17, 2024.

We realize this registration timeline is very early in the school year, so we encourage students to talk over their exam decisions with their family, teachers and trusted adults. Students should consider their confidence in the course content, overall workload, post-secondary plans and their other commitments in the spring when deciding whether or not to take an AP exam. Some colleges and universities require that students taking AP courses take the corresponding exam. The exam fee is $120 for regular format exams and $130 for special format (World Language, Music Theory, Studio Art) exams. There will be no late registration, so students will need to plan carefully.

There are some exams that are considered “low demand” exams and will only be offered if there are enough sign-ups. “Low demand” exam details are provided here. Additionally, there are some exams that are only open to students for restricted purchase (e.g. Computer Science Principles, and Studio Art). Restricted purchase exam details are provided here.

These students are not eligible to take special format exams (World language, Studio Art, Music Theory or Computer Science Principles) and must provide current evidence of homeschool enrollment. Eligible non-FUHSD students should contact Ms. Johanna Moyoli at Fremont High School, (408) 522-2420, to register.

This assessment (sometimes called CAA or Cal-Alt) is designed for 11th grade students who are deemed eligible by their IEP team, and is administered in a one-to-one setting by a trained, certificated teacher. It is a computer-based test aligned to the Core Content Connectors (CCCs), alternate achievement standards which are linked to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English-Language Arts and mathematics. It replaces the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) which was part of the STAR testing program.

Results for the Cal-Alt in English-Language Arts and Mathematics will be published later this summer. Student score reports will be sent home in late August/early September. The Cal-Alt in Science was a pilot test in Spring 2017 and no results are available.
