AP Participation Survey

In September, AP coordinators will be emailed a personalized link to the Participation Survey, which they must complete on behalf of their school. The feedback provided from AP coordinators through the survey helps the AP Program make important program decisions, informs the development of new AP-related initiatives, and identifies important state and regional trends that affect our policies related to exam funding and professional development offerings.

AP Art and Design

Physical portfolios will resume in 2022. For AP 2-D Art and Design and AP Drawing, students will prepare physical portfolios and also submit images of their work through the AP Art and Design digital submission web application. For AP 3-D Art and Design, students continue to submit all work through the digital submission web application. Learn more.
