2008 AP/CP EXAM DATES. In an effort to accomodate candidates who are starting fellowships or jobs on July 1, the 2008 AP/CP examinations will begin on Monday, May 19, 2008 and should be completed by the last part of June. Because of the earlier start to exams, the deadline date for application for the Spring 2008 examinations will be January 4, 2008. This deadline is approximately 10 days earlier than it has been previously.
Assuming we experience no major problems with this change, the ABP anticipates beginning the spring AP/CP exams in mid-May on a permanent basis. Candidates will receive specific date assignments for the examinations as they have in the past. If a candidate chooses not to accept the assigned dates, there will be a $250 fee for the first time a candidates transfers to a future exam and a $500 fee for each subsequent transfer.
