AP TEST REGISTRATION- DUE NOV. 1ST
It is that time of year for AP students to register for AP Exams. Payment can be made three ways: card, cash, or check. You can use this link to pay electronically, but please note that regular exams are $100 and free and reduced exams are $56 when paying with a card. You can pay with cash or check for $97 for regular exams and $53 for free and reduced exams. If students are unsure of how much they owe based on the instructions in the form, they should ask their AP teacher or Mrs. Green before making a payment. It is easier for us to answer your question than to issue a refund 🙂
Click here to access the form to sign up for AP Exams. This form and payment must be submitted by Tuesday, November 1. As always, students can reach out to Mrs. Green if they have any questions. Also, if you have not signed up for the AP Remind, text @chsap222 to 81010.
