The College Board released the spring 2024 testing schedule in late June 2023. The dates conflict with the last two days of school and two graduation ceremonies. Late testing dates are available if students cannot test during the first two full weeks of May.

Considerations

• Graduating seniors will have the option to register for the late exam at Lebanon Trail (no additional charge)

• Late Testing Circumstances

• Building and space availability for original and late exam times

If you have any questions or concerns about any of these topics, please contact our Campus Testing Facilitator, Lauren Phillips, at phillipsl@friscoisd.org.
