AP Exam Registration is Now Open!!
The registration process for the 2022-2023 school year is a 3-step process. The process is clearly outlined in the google doc registration form linked below (please follow all required steps in the order outlined).
Important to remember:
The recommended due date for all exam registrations is November 4th, 2022
Once teachers share the join codes, students must go into their College Board accts and select YES for the test. The new payment system cannot generate an invoice for payment unless this step has been completed.
Payment is due by November 11th at midnight through the School Bucks System. Therefore, students need to make the YES decision by November 11th at noon. So that a final invoice can be generated, sent to a parent, and paid that afternoon/evening. If you are paying by check, the check is required by 11/11.
