AP Exam Registration -- now
underway (1/5/10)
Registration for the May 2010 AP examination session opens Monday, February

March 15. Student fees
for 2010 are $86 per exam, payable by check to Portage Northern.
The AP exam window for this year is May 3-14, with late testing dates
(for conflicts with IB exams) on May 19-21.

It is
important to note that each of these exams conflicts with at least one IB
(International Baccalaureate) exam, so if students wish to sit for both
exams, they will register for the AP exam under the “Late Testing” category
when they turn in their registration form.
To accommodate the international program, the College Board offers
alternate test dates to resolve scheduling problems.
The most common AP/IB conflicts for this year are apt to be:

described above, so students should plan carefully to ensure that their AP
registrations do not conflict with other activities/events in which they are
involved in May.
