Registration for AP Exams 2024-25

Registration for AP Exams 2024-25

Hello, Wolverines and Families.

AP Exam registration and payment are now available. The process, details, and a list of important dates are outlined below. AP Exam cost is $99 per test this year and payment is due November 8^th. 

Please complete the following:

1. Create College Board Account: Students must create a College Board account to access the registration process.  This College Board support page provides help creating an account.  If students don't remember their login/password, do not create a second account.  Students can call the College Board student help line at 866-315-6068 if they are not successful with “Forgot Password” help.
2. Join AP Classroom: AP Teachers provided a “Join Code” to students in their AP class.  Students must submit that Join Code in their College Board account.  This gives students access to learning resources in AP Classroom and registers them for the AP Test online order system.  Payment is required to order an exam.
3. Review AP Testing Schedule: Students should discuss plans for taking AP exams with family members.  Find out if a college accepts AP scores for college credit or advanced placement (meaning students could skip certain courses in college) at the College Board Credit and Placement site. Keep in mind this year’s AP Test Schedule May 5-16, to ensure that you can take the exams on the days offered.  If two tests are given at the same time, the AP Coordinator will reschedule one of the tests for the late testing window, May 19-23. 
4. Pay for Exams: Families log in to Touchbase and use Shop and Pay to select and pay for AP tests. Be mindful that some tests have very similar names (Example: AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition), so select with care.  Fee waiver eligible students will see a price of zero for all AP tests. The student's test order is not complete until they add the test to their cart, complete the transaction, and obtain a receipt even if no payment is required. See attached PowerPoint.

Payment is due by November 8, 2024.  AP coordinators will reconcile the payments with the online AP Test Order.  Any test that is not paid by November 8 will be changed to “No exam ordered” in the student’s College Board account and will not be included in the order placed to the College Board on November 15.  Touchbase Shop and Pay for AP Tests will close at midnight on November 14.  After that time, a $40 late fee will be assigned by the College Board for any AP Test ordered.

Students who are not enrolled in AP classes who want to register for AP tests will:

1. Use Touchbase to Shop and Pay for the exams.
2. Email a receipt to the AP Coordinator, Kayla Manteghi, ManteghiK@bsd405.org.  She will reply with the “Exam Only” Join Code(s).
3. Student submits the Join Code in their College Board account. This gives students access to learning resources in AP Classroom and places them on the AP Test online order.
4. Students will see the exam, including date and location of administration in their College Board account.

Testing Accommodations: Students with a 504 plan or IEP who have testing accommodations should contact their counselor if they want to access these accommodations on the AP exams.  All accommodations for AP must be pre-approved by the College Board.  Once approved, the accommodations continue until the student graduates.  Students should work with their counselor to request changes in accommodations.
