Congratulations students and parents! You have made it through half of the school year! I wanted to provide you with important information regarding the Advanced Placement (AP) testing for this school year, happening May 5 - 16.
All students currently in Advanced Placement Human Geography and Advanced Placement Computer Science A should have received a Join Code and instructions on how to register for The College Board from their teacher. If you still do not have a College Board account set up, go to www.collegeboard.org/register to create your account. Make sure you use your full legal name and use a personal email, not your school email. Do this today! The deadline to have your College Board account updated with the Join Code is Thursday, February 20.

Payment for AP exams will be done through an online registration program called Total Registration. This will allow students and families to pay with a credit/debit card. Create an account at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/242100 Again, use your full legal name and personal email address for this site.
o Cost for AP Exams for the 2024-205 school year.
$70 regular testing fee
$35 free/reduced lunch fee waiver fee
Payment is due by February 20, 2025. If you do not pay for the exam/s by this deadline, no exam will be ordered.
If you qualify for the free/reduced lunch program and have not yet completed the paperwork, stop into the counseling office and ask for the forms TODAY. If you have completed the paperwork, I have this on file. When you are registering on Total Registration, click YES, for the question about qualifying for a reduced fee. You will NOT be able to pay for the exam until I approve your free/reduced lunch status on Total Registration. Once I have done this, you will receive an email informing you that you are able to pay for the exam/s.
There is a $42 cancellation fee for the 2024-2025 AP exams after March 14, 2025.
If you do NOT want to take the AP Exam/s for the class/es in which you are enrolled, email sanieland@rochesterschools.org today. Please tell me which exam/s you do not want to take. I will change your test status from YES to NO on The College Board website. An exam will not be ordered for you. You will not be charged. The deadline to decline an exam is February 20, 2025.
If you have any questions regarding AP testing, please reach out to your AP teacher(s), Sandy Nieland or Cindy Cox. We all are here to help you. Have a great rest of the school year!
