PRE-REGISTRATION

 MANDATORY PRE-REGISTRATION SESSIONS WILL BE

HELD: THURSDAY, APRIL 11th (Plus Block) & TUESDAY, APRIL 23rd (After School)

 You MUST attend ONE of these sessions  This is a one-time information gathering session, designed to

eliminate a minimum of 30 minutes of extra testing time on test day for each test

 You must pre-register before taking your AP exam; there are

NO EXCEPTIONS!

 Your score reporting form and number will be given to you that

day - Don’t lose this number! You will need it to check your test scores!

TEST DATES & TIMES

 May 6th – May 17th  8 AM, 12 PM, 2PM

 You may leave school after your morning AP test.  New this year: You do not need to come in for morning

classes before a 12 pm AP test.

 Also new this year: We will be starting the test

instructions at 7:45 and 11:45 so the tests can finish earlier than in previous years.

 THERE ARE NO OPTIONS FOR BEING TARDY FOR A

TEST! TESTING START TIMES ARE HARD TIMES. BE EARLY! IF YOU ARE ON TIME, YOU ARE LATE

LATE (MAKE-UP) TESTING:

5/22 -5/24

 If you miss a test, there are options to make it up (if you

choose to do so):

 If you simply miss the test, then you pay a change of

exam fee and take it on a retake date

 For allowed circumstances, such as sickness, religious

holidays, natural disaster, another exam, etc., no fee will be added, but you MUST let us know if you are not able to make a test date.

 You may not test early, nor test later in the day (i.e. tardy to

school, game, etc.). You may not leave the test site until the test is over.

TEST REFUNDS/CANCELLATION

 CHS has earlier deadlines for registration than what is listed

• n college board’s website

 If a student registers for an exam and cancels by March 6, a

full refund will be issued

 IF A STUDENT IS REGISTERED FOR AN EXAM AND

CANCELS UP UNTIL APRIL 13TH A REFUND OF $78 ($126 FOR SEMINAR/RESEARCH) WILL BE ISSUED IN APPROXIMATELY 6 – 8 WEEKS.

 Cancellation FEE after March 6 will be $20 due to College

Board restocking fees.
