Attention ALL AP Students! Deadline Approaching! If you are enrolled in a Semester 2 or Term 4 AP Course, the exam registration deadline is March 3.
Most students have completed Step 1 of the AP Exam Registration Process by joining their AP course on the College Board site. The College Board takes the information the student provides in this step to create a testing ticket for the May exam. Your AP teacher should have provided you with a Join Code for the course. If you have not completed this step, please do so ASAP!
Most students have not completed Step 2 of the AP Exam registration process. Students should go to the Total Registration site to pay for the intended exams. Once the exam is paid for, WHS will place the order for the exam with the College Board.
Please note that the exams listed in a student's College Board account should MATCH the exams paid for in the Total Registration account.
Step 1 AND Step 2 must be completed by March 3 if a student intends to take the May AP exam. If a student no longer wishes to take the exam, they must contact amy.swenson@wayzataschools.org so that she can cancel the testing ticket with the College Board. If a student has paid for an exam in Total Registration and no longer wishes to take that exam, they should log into their Total Registration account and request to cancel.
For the 2020-21 AP Exam administration, the College Board is waiving their cancellation fee for unused exams.
