AP Exam Registration is Open
Registration for AP exams closes on March 3. The exams are held from May 1-12.
Registration for AP exams opened on Feb. 13, and students can register and pay the $93 fee online through a link on the PLD home page.
While KRS 160.348(3) requires costs of the AP exams to be paid by the KDE, state funding has not been available, so only students who qualify for free and reduced lunch will have their fees waived.
According to Mrs. Kelly Krusich, there’s a question on the Total Registrations site that asks if you qualify for financial assistance. “You need to select that you do and it will put you in my queue to double check and make sure that you qualify for free and reduced lunch,” she said.
Students can still sign up for an exam after March 3, however, a $20 late fee will be charged for each exam. Exams registered after March 17 will incur a $55 late fee in addition to the $20 fee. April 14 is the last day to register for an exam.
Pre-administration sessions will be held between April 18-20. These sessions enable guidance counselors to meet with groups of students grouped by grade level and last name to fill out their answer booklets and answer sheets for the tests ahead of time.
“It helps us get organized before the tests are given,” said Mrs. Krusich.
Any student wishing to cancel an exam must do so by April 28. Students who cancel an exam before this date will receive a refund, but there is a $25 cancellation fee per exam. Exams cannot be cancelled after April 28.
