Registering for the AP Test.

Here is a message from VP Parman about tegistering fot AP Tests.  Please follow instructions on it.

Hello teachers of AP classes (and a few dual credit/advanced teachers that have students that sometimes take the AP test),

 

The AP test registration page is up and ready to go.   There are a couple of steps, so please share this information with your AP classes.  It might even make sense to have some time to complete the registration during flex. 

 

Couple of reminders:

1.       All AP registrations must be complete by February 24^th

2.       You have access to practice exams through the AP web-site.

3.       Have students register for ALL their AP exams at the same time. 

4.       Students should sign up for any world language tests first (because there will not be a makeup day)

5.       Students can only register for ONE test per day because test locations are all over the city.  If they need to take two tests, they need to sign up for the late exam date (at no extra cost).  They will know if that is the case because they will not be able to select the other test.

6.       If students have questions, please have them come talk to us in the counseling center.  April or I can answer questions.

 

Review the documents that are linked below (and shared with you).
