NEW 2019-2020 FCPS AP Exam Registration Timeline and Fees

All AP students must be enrolled in a MyAP classroom for the AP courses in which they are enrolled unless there are special circumstances. Enrollment in MyAP is how AP Testing Coordinators order AP Exams for students, is the vehicle for teacher delivery of instructional resources, and will be used for teachers to view student’s AP Exam scores. Failure of a student to enroll in MyAP is NOT a substitute for completing the Opt-Out form and may result in unnecessary fees. The deadline to join AP courses in MyAP is October 25th.
