September 2019

Dear AP Students and Parents:

This school year, the AP Program introduced new resources and processes designed to help students earn college credit and placement. 

Here’s what you and your student need to know:

·      Students are asked to register online this fall for their AP Exam.  Exams are taken in May, 2020.

·      Students need to register online now through October 1^st for each exam they plan to take in order to avoid a late registration fee of $50.

·      The exam fee is $85 per exam.  Please note that there is a $50 fee for late registration (for students registering online after October 1) and a $40 cancellation or unused exam fee.  Late online AP registration will run from October 2 through October 22 and will include the $50 late registration fee ($135 per exam).

Students will get personalized feedback through the digital tools that provide daily support for every AP classroom.  Their teachers will be able to track their performance throughout the year using monthly personal progress checks.

As this school year begins, please encourage your student to sign up for a college Board account.  All College Board programs are connected though one account, so if your student created one for the PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, or College Board Opportunity Scholarships, they are all set.  They’ll just need to have their username and password available. 

 Learn more at parents.collegeboard.org

 Students were given a Join Code in each of their AP classes.  This allows the student to get personal feedback through the new digital tools that provide daily support for every AP classroom.  Their teachers will be able to track their performance throughout the year using an online bank of real AP practice questions and monthly personal progress checks.  If your student has not joined their AP class this year, please have them see their teacher to do so as soon as possible.

Registration forms for this year’s AP Exams can be picked up in the Counseling Office or CLICK HERE for a PDF version.  The deadline for returning the form AND paying for the exam fee(s) is October 22, 2019 for regular registration, and November 1, 2019 for late registration.  No AP Exam registrations will be accepted after the November 1, 2019 deadline.

PSAT Registration now open!

 

The PSAT is coming up right around the corner (October 16th) and now is the time to start registering for it. The PSAT is open for students grades 9th - 11th, though spacing is limited and priority is given to Juniors. October 4th is the cutoff date. The cost to take the exam is $20. Payments can be made to the ACMA Bookkeeper. This is a great opportunity, particularly for Juniors, as taking the PSAT can qualify them for the National Merit Scholarship Program!
