Enrollment for 2020-21

Schedule Change Requests

AP Exams

Beginning this year, students must register and pay for AP exams no later than November 1st.

Any registrations after November 1st will incur a late fee. (See information below about an installment payment plan.)

Students may register for one or more tests. All tests will be administered in May 2020.

Step 1: Exam registration is now done through each student’s individual College Board MyAP account.

Students first create a “MyAP” account
Students create only one MyAP account, no matter how many AP classes they are taking.
Students join each subject AP Classroom with the code provided by their teacher. (If a student hasn’t joined their AP class yet, they must get the join code from their SME teacher.)
Students must mark “yes” in their MyAP account for each exam they wish to take.
The deadline to register without a late fee is November 1st.
The date of each exam (in May) is displayed in individual accounts. See the complete schedule here.

Step 2: Payment for exams is done online through Total Registration.

The fee for each exam is $100.
The deadline to pay without a late fee is November 1st.
If you already have an account with Total Registration, do not create another.
Please follow all directions in Total Registration. You will receive a confirmation once you have paid. In addition to paying through Total Registration, students must log in to their College Board account and opt in to their test (see Step 1).
A late fee of $40 will be added to each exam, for a total of $140 for each late exam registration.
Total Registration offers families the option of making partial payments over time (until February 21st) without incurring the $40 late so long as an initial minimum payment of $25 per exam is made by November 1st.

Why take AP exams?

Students are encouraged to take exams, but it is not required.
Students may be able to earn college credit or placement, depending on where they attend college and the score they earn on their exam.
Use this online search tool to find AP credit policies at colleges and universities.
Students are encouraged to join each of their AP classes online in MyAP even if they do not intend to take the test. There are additional resources and study tools available in MyAP.
