Advanced Placement (AP) Resources:

If you are taking an AP exam, please make sure they have done these two (2) things to be ready for their AP exam(s):

1.  Verify that they are registered for the AP exam - by registering for your AP course in AP Classroom. To do this, students will log into their CollegeBoard account and click AP Classroom. There are links below on how to create your account and joining information below. Upon doing this, they should see the confirmation of their exam date(s)/time(s) at the top of the AP Classroom homepage. If they have questions, see your teacher for the Join Code - if you have trouble logging in - you must CALL CollegeBoard, we are not able to reset passwords for student accounts. This is covered for Fall courses in the first week of September and for Spring courses in January.

• If you are taking an AP course and sign up in AP Classroom, you are AUTOMATICALLY signed up to take the exam - and there is NO fee. You must opt out by emailing Ms. Roberts (hroberts3@wcpss.net) by November 15th for fall courses or March 15th for spring courses if you do not wish to take the corresponding exam.
• Students in first semester must sign up by November 15th and spring semester must sign up by March 15th. If they do not sign up by these dates, or choose to not sit and take the exam in May when an exam was ordered, there is a $40 fee (cancellation and no show) from CollegeBoard that students must pay. They can pay in cash or check to "Green Level High School" and pay to the front office on school days from 7am-3pm. This must be paid for students to get graduation tickets.

2. Mark your calendars (the date AND time) and plan accordingly - CollegeBoard AP Schedule. These exams are set by CollegeBoard - please do not plan events in this window as it is a national exam and must be taken at the date and time listed - there are VERY limited true exceptions to taking exams outside the window and most situations do not apply. Please plan accordingly for May 2023.
