    AP Test Registration: 

     

    The first step in the process of registering for an AP Exam is to join your AP class section via myap.collegeboard.org with the join code teachers have shared with you.  At this point all students should have completed this process, if you have not joined the appropriate class/classes, please do so as soon as possible.

    Once you have joined the class, you will need to indicate on this site if you plan to take the exam.  Below is an example of what you will see, you will need to click on the yellow “Register for Exam” box and then indicate your intentions:

    You will need to either indicate “Yes” if you plan to take the AP Exam or “No” if you do not want to take the AP Exam.  Undecided is not an option after November 1.  If you have indicated “Undecided” after November 1, it will be assumed that you do not intend to take that particular AP Exam and I will make the appropriate change to the order.  If you indicate “No”, you do not need to do anything else.

    If you DO want to take that AP Exam and you have indicated “Yes” on the myap.collegeboard.org website, you will need to bring a check/cash for $97.00/per exam and the AP contract signed to the School Counseling Office prior to November 01, 2022, made out the Spring Grove Area School District.  This will ensure that a test will be ordered for you.  If you qualify for the Free/Reduced Lunch Program, you should see your school counselor as you may qualify for a fee reduction.  You will also need to indicate that you qualify for a fee reduction on the myap.collegeboard.org website after indicating “Yes”.

     

    If you are taking multiple exams, you would need to follow this process and pay this amount for each AP Exam you plan to take.  If you are concerned about taking two AP exams on the same day, please stop by the counseling office and we can review an alternate option. Students can start bringing in payments immediately.

    ***11th GRADERS***

    The PSAT provides students with the opportunity to prepare for the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) by experiencing a smaller, shorter version of the test.  It is a “warm-up,” and it will give you a prediction on how you would perform on the SAT. 

    The PSAT is also attached to the NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.)  High enough scores on this exam as a Junior, can help students earn a chance to enter the National Merit Scholarship Program  to earn money for college. 

    Please meet with your counselor if you have any questions about this exam.
