AP Testing

STEP 1: SET UP COLLEGE BOARD ACCOUNT

You will need to set up a College Board account in order to register for your AP test and access AP Classroom. If you already have an account, please use that login. If you cannot recall your login information, please refer to the College Board's student account help page. Keep in mind that school personnel cannot help you with account access due to College Board privacy restrictions. 

STEP 2: REGISTER FOR AP CLASSROOM AND THE TEST

At the start of the school year, your AP teacher(s) will provide you with instructions about how to register in AP Classroom. This process gives you access to important course resources and also registers you to take the AP test in that subject. Your AP teacher will provide a unique Join Code for your class and specific period. Use this code when following the steps on this instructional guide. All students in AP courses MUST sign up for AP Classroom, and will be registered for the AP test by default. Students NOT wishing to take the AP test must email spencers@northernhighlands.org to opt out BEFORE 10/31.

STEP 3: PAY FOR THE TEST IN PAYSCHOOLS CENTRAL

Students will pay the $99 per exam fee in PaySchoolsCentral by selecting the fee/s associated with each of their AP exams. All exam fees must be paid by 10/31. Students who do not pay by this deadline will have to pay an additional $40 late fee per test. Students who have paid for an AP test but later decide not to take it must make this request by emailing Ms. Spencer, your AP Coordinator, BEFORE 3/6 to receive a refund, minus the  $40 cancellation fee. 

STEP 4: SIGN OFF ON THE AP CONTRACT IN GENESIS FORMS

This contract should be read thoroughly in order to understand fees charges by the College Board for late testing requests, canceled tests, and late registration requests. The contract is located in the Parent Portal under the "forms" tab. Additionally, the contract describes fees, cancellation policies and AP student responsibilities.
