AP Exams The College Board expects students to take AP exams in May for the AP courses in which they are enrolled Students must order AP exams and pay necessary fees on time Students must prepare for exams according to their instructor We encourage you to read the information available to you on the following website:

How are AP Exams Scored? Every examination receives an overall grade on a 5 point scale: 5-Extremely well qualified 4-Well qualified 3-Qualified 2-Possible qualified 1-No recommendation

Precautions 1.-Students who sign up first are not guaranteed a spot in a course. SVHS will try to provide every student who qualifies a spot in an AP or Honors course. However, when this is not possible, those who are most qualified will be given priority. 2.-Once the first day of school begins, students will not be allowed to drop AP or Honors Courses. 3.-Students who take AP are committed to taking the exam. 4.-Visit the College Board website. The important thing is to be well informed before registering for courses.
