Counseling

• Sign in (or make an account) at MyAP at College Board.  Students will need to add each class using a join code provided by the teacher of their class.  (Homeschool students, or SCAHS students planning self-study for an AP exam, should contact Michele Rowland to request a join code for an exam only class section. )
• After entering the join code, students will need to click the yellow “register for exam” button, then click “confirm registration.”  This will change their exam registration from “undecided” to “yes.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

• How do I know if the college I am attending will accept AP credit?  You can go directly to the college's website. 
• If I am taking an AP course must I take the exam?  No, you do not need to take the exam.
• May I take an AP exam if I am not enrolled in an AP course?  Yes, you may take an exam, for example many students take Advanced World History in 10th grade and then take the AP World History Exam in May.  Contact the AP Coordinator to ask for a join code for an exam-only section.
