Spring AP Course Exam Registration Deadline - March 8

Ms. Burnham has visited every spring AP® Class (Lit, Art, Stats, CSP, CSA Macro, Gov) last week to pass along this information. 

The deadline to register for AP exams for courses that began in January will be Friday, March 8.  This is said cautiously because you will still be able to pay with a credit card on March 8 BUT if you are mailing a check, Total Registration needs two weeks to process and post before ordering the exam.  So paying with a check means you have a much earlier deadline.  The Total Registration system and the MYAP Classroom system have to match at the end of the day on March 8 or there will not be an exam ordered for your student.

Taking an AP exam is not mandatory, but it is how you can earn college credit.  Click here to use CollegeBoard's tool to find colleges that offer credit or placement for AP scores so that you know how taking an AP exam can benefit your student. 

Ms. Burnham did a classroom presentation and provided students with the following information.  Please let her know if you have any questions!  (270.527.1453 or jennifer.burnham@marshall.kyschools.us)

AP EXAM FEE $21

-Fee waivers are available if you qualify for the federal free/reduced lunch program. There will be a place to mark that in the online registration account (Total Registration) in lieu of entering a form of payment. You still have to complete all steps below.

 

REGISTRATION & PAYMENT PROCESS

*AP Exam ordering and payment is a TWO step process. You have to pay and enroll on two different sites!

1. Registration and Payment – Total Registration

We are using Total Registration to handle our AP exam payments this year. Students must create an account and login to register and pay for their exams.  This will provide students with the option to pay with a credit card (students may also pay by credit or debit card – visa or mastercard only, check, or cashier’s check if they want/need to).  Students previously using Total Registration in years past will already have an account and will click ‘login here’ at the bottom of the site. If you elect to mail your payment, TR must receive and process it before the deadline otherwise you’ll need to pay with a card.

There will be a link on our school website “AP EXAMS” that you can click on or you can access the registration site directly at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/180200

2. Enroll/Register – MyAP CollegeBoard account

Students must enroll in their AP courses and mark their exam intent in the CollegeBoard’s MyAP Classroom system.  This is done at MyAP.CollegeBoard.org. You will login with your existing College Board student account (if you have previously taken AP, PSAT or SAT exams) or you will create a new College Board student account. You should have already created an account and joined your course with the code given to you by your teacher in the first month of the course.  Change your exam indicator to yes or no.

 

*Note: Total Registration is used to record payment while CollegeBoard's MyAP Classroom is used to mark intent for the actual order. One cannot be completed without the other.

Finals for your classes are next week.  Don't forget that the final is worth at least 10% (may be up to 20%) of your overall grade for the semester.

Be sure to pay extra close attention to your teachers this week and the beginning of next.  They will be finishing up new content and going over what you've done this semester in order to take your finals.  Some of your classes may have already assigned a project, so don't wait until the last minute to get that completed.

     Thursday, December 14 = finals for 2nd & 4th blocks

Study hard and do your best!  : )

ACT Prep Workshop (for October test date) starts this weekend

 

PSAT on Wednesday, October 18

The PSAT exam will be given on Wednesday, October 18 from 8:00 – 11:30 a.m., at Marshall County High School.  The PSAT is only given one time a year.  As juniors, students take it to practice for the SAT, to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation or for merit based scholarships offered by their parent’s employer (if applicable).  Students take the PSAT as 10th graders to practice and can also qualify for national recognition programs. 

National Merit Scholarship Corporation: This scholarship competition awards approximately 8,200 scholarships annually. The selection process starts with the choosing of National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists and Commended Scholars. Cutoffs vary from state to state but typically Semi-Finalists score in the top one percent of students in their state and Commended Scholars between the top one to four percent.  Most of the approximately 16,000 Semi-Finalists become Finalists, and half of those ultimately receive National Merit Scholarships.

The cost of the PSAT is $20 and is available to current students at MCHS.  This year, the PSAT will be online, so students must be prepared to bring their school-issued chromebooks.

Students may register with Mrs. Jackson before school, during class changes, at lunch, and after school.  Sign-ups will begin on Monday, September 11 with the deadline for registering set for Friday, September 15 at 3:15 pm.  Payment must be made at the time of registration in the form of cash or check.  Checks are to be made payable to MCHS.
