How do we register/pay for AP Exams? Teachers supply their classes with join codes that correspond to their • class and period. • Students use the join code to enroll in their class section(s) through www.myap.collegeboard.org. • Once joined, students indicate their AP Exam registration for each AP class section enrolled. Students then pay for their exam either online (Fall registration) or in • the College & Career Center (Spring registration). Registration occurs 2 times a year: • October -- Full-year and Fall semester courses, only • • February -- Spring semester courses, only • AP Exam Fees: $94-$142 Source: 2019-2020 Bulletin for AP Students and Parents, page 2
Additional information to consider? AP Exams are administered during the first full week in May. • • Students may take as many AP Exams as they want. Students may not retake an exam within the same year. They can repeat an • exam in a subsequent year. In this case both scores will be reported unless you specify otherwise. AP Exam scores are a weighted combination of the multiple-choice section, the • free-response section, and course performance assessments, if applicable. • AP Exam scores are reported on a 5-point scale which offers a recommendation on how qualified you are to receive college credit and placement: 5 = Extremely well qualified (A+, A) • 4 = Well qualified (A-, B+) • 3 = qualified (B-, C+, C) • • 2 = possibly qualified • 1 = no recommendation Source: 2019-2020 Bulletin for AP Students and Parents, page 4
