AP Test Registration update!
Exam signups continue through March 16. Encourage your students, particularly in AP Psych, AP World, AP US History, English Lang, and AP Gov/Econ, to register right away. They can pay later if needed. By registering ASAP, they will be more likely to secure a spot on the original test day.
All students will be notified of WHEN they will be taking their test (for these impacted ones) by March 25th.
If you teach an AP course, we ask that you please prominently post the registration dates on your white boards or somewhere obvious in the room, and leave it up during the duration of the registration period.

We are asking for departments to have tables in the forum to be able to pass out info, talk to families and answer questions.
We are also sending out appointment times for families who would like to sit with a VP or counselor to help inform their scheduling options as well.
Please plan on having at least one representative from your department present. Let Tucker Farrar know if you have any questions.
