AP Exam Information:
AP exams will be administered Monday, May 7th through Thursday, May 17th, 2018 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, but can also be accessed on the College Board website by clicking on the following link: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap-student-bulletin-2017-18.pdf
PURCHASING AN EXAM – Students wishing to take an AP exam this year should register and pay for the exam(s) through the OCSA Box Office Student Store beginning February 1st. The exam fee established by College Board for each test is $94.00. 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 5th at 11:59 PM. OCSA is obligated to an order deadline and as a result, there are no extensions past this deadline. Students who miss the March 5th purchasing deadline may be added to a waitlist. Please email Mrs. Lopez at sally.lopez@ocsarts.net to be placed on a waitlist. Students will be notified if tests become available and will be given directions at that time for how to purchase the exam.
