Why Shift Exam Ordering from the Spring to Fall 1

So what stands in their way? AP® students do college-level work in high school. If they score a 3 or higher on the exam, they can earn college credit. However, not all AP students pursue the credit they deserve.  So what stands in their way? 2

Nearly all students start the year with high expectations for themselves... Fall: Percentage intending to take the AP Exam Spring: Percentage who actually took the AP Exam 96% 93% 75% 58% White Male African American Female White Male African American Female ...but confidence erodes over the course of the year. 3 Of all groups surveyed, White Males lost the least amount of confidence, while African American Females lost the most confidence.

A commitment to success. Fall exam registration is a best practice at more than half of AP schools. In the 2017-18 school year, the College Board piloted earlier registration with 40,000 students. They saw an increase in scores of 3 or higher across multiple groups. Moving the time of registration made a difference across the board, but it had the strongest effect for students who are traditionally underrepresented in AP.

Scores of 3+ increased across student groups Fall Registration Scores of 3+ increased across student groups

— Meg Shadid, AP World History and AP Economics teacher Fall Registration “Fall registration has been a great way to build a culture in AP where everyone was on board and we used the year to prepare for the exam at the end of the year, it was more of an all hands on deck type of mentality. There was an expectation, a common goal of passing the AP test that we were all working together to accomplish throughout the school year. I think this allowed for my students to grow in their confidence, confidence which they may not have otherwise had.” — Meg Shadid, AP World History and AP Economics teacher

Supporting student success Students are more likely to stay engaged in class and tackle challenging topics head-on when they register in the fall. Fees for late registration and exam cancellation ensure that students don't wait until the last minute to make a decision. This has helped teachers create a classroom culture where students are “all in.”  During the College Board’s pilot, few students registered late or canceled their exams.

AP Exam Fees for 2019-20: The base exam fee is not changing Fall Registration AP Exam Fees for 2019-20: The base exam fee is not changing Description Cost/Exam Fall registration Exam ordered by Nov. 15  $94 Late registration Ordered Nov. 16–Mar 13 $94 + $40 fee Unused/ canceled exam Exam that is canceled or not taken by the student  $40 fee   What’s new? There will be a $40 fee for late exam registrations and unused or canceled exams.

To support year-long engagement, the College Board is providing new resources for students, teachers, and coordinators. These resources were designed and tested by AP teachers and coordinators to provide focused content, greater efficiency, and more flexibility.

A few clicks unlock the new tools and resources. AP educators and students sign in and activate the new AP Classroom system at the start of the school year. Digital activation will: Give students and teachers access to the new resources throughout the school year Allow teachers to organize their AP students by the sections they teach Allow students to register for exams 10
