AP EXAM REGISTRATION IS UNDERWAY FOR FALL & FULL YEAR COURSES - DEADLINE NOVEMBER 6

 The CollegeBoard has two registration windows.

SPRING 2021 AP EXAM INFORMATION 

AP EXAM FEE $95

Fee waivers are available if you qualify for free/reduced lunch. There will be a place to mark that in the online registration account.  

Current SBDM policy states that students that score a 3 on the AP exam are eligible for one letter grade increase on their final course grade.  Scores of 4 or 5 are eligible for up to 2 letter grade increases. Transcript changes occur once AP scores arrive and are processed in the fall.   

 REGISTRATION & PAYMENT PROCESS: 

*AP Exam ordering and registration is a TWO step process. 

1. Payment 

We are using Total Registration to handle our AP exam payments this year. Students must create an account and login to register and pay for their exams.  This will provide students with the option to pay with a credit card (students may also pay by debit card, check, or cashier’s check if they want/need to).  Students previously using Total Registration in years past or to register for the PSAT will already have an account and will click ‘login here’ at the bottom of the site. 

There will be a link on our school website “AP EXAMS” that you can click on or you can access the registration site directly at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/180200  

2. Enroll/Register 

Students must enroll in their AP courses and mark their intent in the CollegeBoard’s MyAP system. Students registering for an AP exam must mark their exam indicator to yes.  This is done at MyAP.CollegeBoard.org. You will login with your existing College Board student account (if you have previously taken AP, PSAT or SAT exams) or you will create a new College Board student account. You should have already created an account and joined your course with the code given to you by your teacher by the first week of the course. 

*Note: Total Registration is used to record payment while CollegeBoard's MyAP Classroom is used to mark intent for the actual order. One cannot be completed without the other. 

DEADLINES: 

Fall/Full Year courses: 

Students currently in a fall or full year AP course at Marshall County High School must register and pay for exams by Friday, November 6. The registration window opens October 13,2020. 

Spring courses: Students taking a spring semester course must register and pay by March 5, 2021. 

If you do not sign up and pay for the exam during your course’s window (fall/full year or spring) there will not be an exam ordered for you – no exceptions.   

REFUND POLICY:  

• Students who cancel an exam by Fri - Apr 23, 2021 are entitled to a refund of the exam fee minus a cancellation fee of $20.00 (per exam cancelled). 

• After Fri - Apr 23, 2021 there are no refunds. 

• Late fees are nonrefundable.
