Advanced Placement

Advanced Placement Exam Information 

The College Board AP Exam Registration is completed within the first month of school. Students must be registered for their AP Exams by September 22, 2023, through their College Board account. College Board requires students to enroll themselves.  Hough High School does not have the ability to order exams on behalf of students unless they have joined their AP class in AP Classroom. Classroom and Exam "Join Codes" are available from AP teachers beginning on the first day of school. Exam fees are $94 and will be paid by the school district as long as the student is enrolled in the associated AP course and has completed the required AP registration process. Home-schooled students and students opting to take an AP exam for a course they are not enrolled will be responsible for this fee. There is an additional $40 fee for any late registrations or unused exams. 

After AP Exams, AP Students need to indicate in MyAP the college, university, or scholarship program they would like to receive their free score report.  Students indicate this information only through MyAP.  To take advantage of their free score send, students need to indicate their score report recipient in My AP by June 20, 2023.
