8/27/19 - AP Exams – A Guide for Mt. Hebron Parents
Dear Parents,
Thank you for supporting your child through the AP course experience. In 2019, nearly 500 students took over 1,100 AP exams – that equates to roughly 80% of students enrolled in an AP courses taking at least one exam. If your child plans to take the end-of-course exam, please take note of the following important information.
College Board now requires students to register for exams in October. Registration is a two-step process. Students must use the College Board Portal to elect which exams they wish to take. They will access the portal using their College Board account and a join code provided by the AP teacher. Parents must “opt in” to allow students to use the Portal. Teachers will provide “opt in” forms to all their AP students. (The opt in form can be found here). Then, they will use their Naviance/Family Connections account to complete the registration process and pay for the exam(s). This is a county process, and registration is only open to student accounts. Students must complete both steps in order to register. They will receive detailed instructions soon.
The cost is $94/exam. Payment must be made at the time of registration. After students select their exams in the Portal and submit the online Naviance registration, they are asked to submit a printed copy of the Naviance form along with proof of payment (check, or print-out of online credit card payment).
