AP classes are rigorous academic courses designed for students who are college bound. Students self-select these courses and should be prepared to work at a college-level pace to manage the greater challenge. Students in AP classes have the option of signing up for the AP exams which are produced and managed by the CollegeBoard.  Students do not need to take an AP course to take the exams. They can take other advanced courses or just study independently.

AP exams are recognized by colleges and universities with regard to a student's preparation for the demands of college courses. AP exams often present an opportunity for college credit and/or higher placement in college courses. Each college decides which AP exam grades it will accept for credit or placement.

Learn more about AP at this link. 

The AP exams are offered in May of each year.

AP Exam information can be found below.

*The AP exams are offered to Northshore School District students in May of each year.  Registration and payment options without late fees of $40/per test will close Friday, November 15th at 8:59 pm.

The 2023 AP exams will cover the full content in each AP course, so students have the opportunity to receive college credit and/or placement. Every AP student should keep their options open by registering for the exam on time because there will still be a $40 fee for late orders. The College Board will support in-school testing in 2023 because administering exams in schools maximizes access and opportunity. If safety concerns still prohibit any students from testing at a school, the College Board will provide a contingency testing option that contains full course content.  

Students - Create a College Board Account: Students will need a College Board account to join their AP class section, receive AP assignments from teachers, get feedback on class progress, and register for AP exams (note: parents should not create an account for the student). If you don’t have a student account, go to www.collegeboard.org/register.

Already Have a College Board Account? All College Board programs are connected through one account. If an account was created for AP, PSAT/NMSQT or SAT, you just need your username and password to sign in.

Advanced Placement Exam Registration & Payment is a two-step process (Both parts must be completed for each AP exam to be registered, ordered, and paid for). 

• STEP 1: Students will need to login or create a College Board account via myap.collegeboard.org. Students will also need a “join code” (see all join codes at the bottom of this communication) given to them by their AP teacher in order to join a class section. Note: An exam cannot be ordered for you until you complete Step 1!

Students do not need to be enrolled in an AP course to take an AP exam. If you want to take an AP exam and not enrolled in an AP course, you will still need a join code to register, order, and pay for an exam. If you want to take an exam that is not listed on the site with a join code, please contact Julie Westerbeck  jwesterbeck@nsd.org to get a join code issued.

• STEP 2: Beginning October 3, Students will PAY for their AP exam fees via TotalRegistration.net/AP/480101 Note: An exam cannot be fully ordered and paid for you until you complete Step 1! (The College Board does not accept payment when registering for an AP exam so we have to use a second party to accept and track exam payment.)

IMPORTANT DEADLINES AND INFORMATION
 

• AP Registration Payment Deadline: November 15th 2022  

• It is recommended that students use their Northshore email account (@apps.nsd.org) when registering for both Total Registration and the College Board. Failure to use the same NSD email on both sites may cause a student to not get the correct AP exam.   
   
• AP exams will cost $108. This must be paid for by November 15th, 2022 to avoid having to pay a late exam order fee ($40). 
   
• Late registration fee mandated by College Board: Students MAY register for an AP exam AFTER November 15th, 2022 and up until approximately March 5th, 2023, but will have to pay an additional $40 per exam late order fee. (Ability to sign up and pay for exams closes 1 week before March 15. Please plan accordingly!)
   
• Any students who qualify for Free & Reduced Lunch are eligible for a fee waiver and will not have to pay for an AP exam. See your counselor.

A detailed schedule of exams to be hosted at IHS and other local buildings will be shared here when exam season nears.

Taking AP exam(s) this May? You need to let me know ASAP if you have a conflict with your IB exams.

FYI: IHS is hosting only the AP exams for AP courses offered here (AP Stats, AP US History, AP World History: Modern, AP Environmental Science, AP English Literature and Comp, AP English Language and Comp).

2. Look at the IB testing information on this link. 

 

3. If you cannot take an AP exam at the date/time listed because you are taking an IB exam at the same date/time, please let me know the details, and I can schedule you for the AP LATE TESTING DATE you can see these on this link. Please fill in this google form to be signed up to take the AP test at the Late date. The form will ask you Which AP test/s are you taking? And Which IB test/s are you taking?

 

4. IF you are taking an IB exam during the AP LATE TESTING DATE (same date/time as an IB exam), OR if you have 2 Late AP exams you need to take and they are scheduled at the exact same time/date, you will be scheduled for the EXCEPTION AP Test Date. You need to give me those details ASAP by using this google form which will ask you

• Which AP test/s are you taking?

• Which IB test/s are you taking?

 

FYI - The exception testing date will be May 24 (and some maybe May 25 or 26) and arranged through the school district centrally. Expect info about it after April break.
