SCORES: AP exam results for the May 2023 session are posted in AP student accounts. AP exam writers will have received an email update, but you can also simply log in directly to your AP student account to see your score(s). If there are any issues, or if you have questions, contact AP through the Help and Contact Us features on their site. Information about sending scores to, or hiding scores from, universities is found on the AP site.

DECEMBER 2022 NEWS:

THERE WILL BE AN INFORMATION MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14TH FOR ALL STUDENTS DOING AP IN THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR. 

Location: Library  (in the Gallery room)

Date: Wednesday, December 14, 2022

Time: 3:30 p.m. 

NEW! Google Classroom for AP. There is a JMSS Google Classroom for students who intend to take the AP exams. Please contact Ms. Barbour for the code.  This Google Classroom is only for distributing info like registration forms and exam locations. Your AP Classroom is your source for subject support. 

Registration for AP exams happens in February at McCrae. We will be offering the chance to write Calculus AB, Computer Science A, Chemistry, and English. If you are interested in challenging the Calculus BC exam, we can facilitate that (it is written at the same time as Calculus AB). Please discuss it with your AP Calculus coach before making the decision. If you are interested in writing exams that we don't offer here at McCrae, you will need to find a test provider privately. The deadline for registering for an AP exam at JMSS is March 6, 2023. 

A NOTE ABOUT CONSULTING THE OFFICIAL AP WEBSITE (THE COLLEGE BOARD): The registration deadlines and fees listed on the AP website are a guide for administrators of the program. Always consult your own AP Coordinator (check this website) for registration dates and fees.  For exam dates and times, the AP (College Board) website is accurate and does apply to JMSS - we will have our exams at the dates and times listed on the official site. 

SEPTEMBER 2022 NEWS:

Welcome back to JMSS! I hope you had a wonderful summer.  Exam registration will happen in February. If you selected an AP subject last year at course registration time, feel free to talk to your AP Subject Coach about what AP is like in that subject area. If you have any questions about AP, you are welcome to contact Ms. Barbour. 

FEBRUARY 2022 NEWS: REGISTRATION!

Registration has begun for the AP exams that are to be held in May. AP students should check their email for information from Ms. Barbour. The due date for registration is MARCH 7th, 2022. If you did not receive the email, contact Ms. Barbour.

Please note that decisions about AP exam administration for JMSS students will be made based on public health and logistical considerations relevant to Ottawa and the OCDSB and may not align with information provided by AP on their website or in their  email notifications to students. 

JANUARY 2022 NEWS:

Happy New Year! Please stay tuned to this website and your email to learn about what AP will look like this Spring.  Currently exams are scheduled to be written in-person (not online) in the first two weeks of May. Our fees remain unchanged, and registration will happen at the beginning of second semester - in February. Please understand that public health considerations related to Covid will determine how AP unfolds at JMSS.  It is important that you get your information about registration procedures, deadlines, and fees from this site, and not from the AP site. Deadlines on the AP site relate to American schools and their AP Coordinators - if you follow those dates you will be too late to register.

All students who registered for AP subjects have been contacted with information about setting up their AP accounts. If you wish to challenge one of the AP exams that we host but you did not select AP during last year's course selection process, contact Ms. Barbour. 

SEPTEMBER 2021 NEWS:

Welcome back! Please stay tuned to this website to learn about what AP will look like at JMSS this year.  Currently exams are scheduled to be written in-person (not online) in the first two weeks of May. Our fees remain unchanged, and registration will happen at the beginning of second semester. Please understand that public health considerations related to Covid will determine how AP is run here. 

APRIL 2021 NEWS: 

• I have sent all JMSS AP students who have registered for exams an email with information about downloading the app that is needed for doing the exams at home. Please check your inbox.  It is really important that you make sure the technical requirements are in place and that you practice how the exam will run. 

MARCH NEWS

• AP has released its modified exam schedule for Spring 2021 exams.  JMSS students will write their exams in what AP has designated "Administration 3", which is in the first two weeks of June.

• Exams will be full length - an overall time commitment of at least 3.5 hours

• Exams will be digital - all online - and written AT HOME on a desktop or laptop PC or Mac (no phones, tablets, or personal Chromebooks).

• Exams have worldwide synchronous start times set by AP - there is no flexibility with the date or time of the exam. For some exams this will mean that a student will need to be absent from their JMSS class to write the AP exam. Given the pace of this year's quadmester system, please consider carefully if being absent from school for a day is manageable. You will be responsible for everything you miss in your class.

AP Changes for 2020-21 due to COVID-19:   There are currently many unknowns this school year.  Here are some important changes to how AP will run this school year:

• currently AP is communicating that upcoming exams will be full length, not condensed as they were during school shutdowns in Spring 2020.  Any changes to this communication will be posted here and on the AP website.

• exam registration was in November, as always, but this year there is no penalty fee being charged for exams that aren't written

• this year JMSS is unable to host students who do not attend JMSS in exams offered here - this includes students who normally attend JMSS but are at the virtual high school this year

• because of safety precautions, most schools are not hosting students who do not attend their schools

• the AP French exam will not be offered at JMSS in May 2021

• more information will be provided by AP in the new year about how virtual school and home school students can access AP exams

AP Update July 2020:  Students who wrote the online AP exams in May and June can access their scores through their AP accounts. Please consult the AP website for information about next steps, including how to communicate scores to universities.  Registered AP students who elected not to write the exams this year will be provided a full refund. Students have all been contacted by email with the details about how this will happen. Please be patient with how long it might take for the process to unfold, as it's not business-as-usual at AP or in our office.
