AP Exam Information

AP exams will be administered Monday, May 6^th through Friday, May 17^th, 2019 on the OCSA campus. All students currently in an AP class at OCSA are eligible to take a corresponding AP exam. Because there is a sizable monetary obligation to taking AP exams and extensive study time involved, it is important for both students and parents to discuss and determine how many exams the student can realistically manage. Students are encouraged to register only for those exams they are committed to taking. An AP Bulletin will be distributed to students in their AP classes in January and can also be accessed on the College Board website by clicking on the following link: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap-student-parent-bulletin-2018-19.pdf

PURCHASING AN EXAM – Students wishing to take an AP exam this year should register and pay for the exam(s) on OCSA's Student Store at MySchoolBucks.com beginning Friday, February 1st. The exam fee established by College Board for each test is $94.00, with the exception of AP Research which costs $142. If your family qualifies for FRLP, the fee is $53.00. When ordering exams, we highly encourage both student and parent to be present to ensure that the correct exams are ordered. Please print/save your emailed receipt of payment for your records as students may be asked for this for future reference or refunds. The deadline for purchasing an exam is Monday, March 4^th at 9:00 PM. OCSA is obligated to an order deadline and as a result, there are no extensions past this deadline. Students who miss the March 4^th purchasing deadline may be added to a waitlist. Please email Mrs. Lopez at sally.lopez@ocsarts.net to be placed on a waitlist.

COURSE OFFERINGS - OCSA offers 19 AP classes and 9 honors level courses. Most AP and honors courses have pre-requisites, so please refer to the Curriculum Handbook, when determining courses for the upcoming school year. If a student does not meet the prerequisites for a course and still wants to take the class, the student may meet with a school counselor to discuss a plan and complete a AP/Honors course waiver form that may enable an opportunity to take the course. Some AP and honors courses have summer assignments; all summer assignment information for the current year is listed below.
