AP EXAM INFO
We will be taking payments for AP exams the week of February 28 to March 4 during lunch. This is the final window to pay your exam balances as well as order exams for your Spring semester courses. As a reminder, each exam is $96. Seminar and Research exams are $126 each. If your student is taking 4 or more exams, the first three exams are full price and the fourth and subsequent exam is $40. Please make checks payable to Oak Ridge High School.
If you have decided that you want to add an exam for a course you were in during Fall semester only and you didn’t place an order in November you may still do so, however College Board will charge a $40 late fee in addition to the price of the exam. Additionally as a reminder, if a student decides they no longer wish to take an exam that they ordered in the fall College Board will charge a $40 fee to cancel their exam.
Please make sure that you have entered join codes for ALL AP courses that you are in, even if you do not plan to take the AP exam. Mr. Foust is unable to order an exam for a student, even if they have paid, if they have not entered the join code for the course.
You can find the AP exam schedule at the link below. In April, Mr. Foust will be in contact with those students who have exam conflicts and work to get any conflicts scheduled on the makeup exam dates. Like in years past, we are working with Roane State Community College to administer all of our AP exams at the Oak Ridge campus of Roane State. More information on that to come.
