At our school: AP Registration runs February 1 to March 1.
Fee: $98 ($145 for Capstone)
Late Fee: Begins February 19 and adds $55 extra for a total of $153 per exam
Maybe the AP registration dates vary by school - anyways our due date is March 5 and late fee applies after that date.
Our AP Bill was $400 this year - hundred each but at least will get credit for all at likely school.
Our APs registration is due March 22. $96 per test. ($145 for capstone) = $288 for us. I doubt she wll do well enough on the AP Calc exam to matter for college credit, which annoys me to pay for it then.
Unusual school shooter situation in far north GA (Dalton High School – not D18’s school) today: the shooter was a teacher! Apparently, he flipped out, barricaded himself in his room alone, and fired a warning shot when the principal tried to open the door. No one was injured.
AP registration at our school is not until early April. The form is not even available yet. Tests are administered in May. Not sure why we are so much later than your schools, except maybe that we are private.
Our AP tests are in early May as well. Public school in CA.
Pretty sure the actual test dates are the same for all schools since they are posted on the CB web site

Our school sent notices for AP test fees in late fall. They never seemed to have a hard due date. But we always paid them in the spring.
So how many of those AP classes are going to be accepted at you’re child’s college? It could be as little as 2 at one school or as many as 8 at another of D18s top two
Getting a semester’s worth of credit would sure take the sting out of paying for the tests. 
Our deadline to register is April 2. Will likely register for 4 tests. Thankfully this year there is no silly girlfriend to pick a stupid fight just as he walks into the test that he was getting a high 4 on in practice and ended up with a 3. But I’m not bitter.
(She also pulled the same stunt just before his ACT. Coincidence? I think not)
@traveler98 and @3scoutsmom Is Clark a research program at YTD? My older son did a summer research program at Texas Tech called Clark Scholar (for HS students)l. Are they related programs?
@LMHS73 let her know that roundabouts are much safer than signalized intersections and 4-way stops. No t-bone or head on collisions.
@Texasmom18…oooh we had one of those with DD2016. He broke up with her once in January the friday night before the Saturday SAT test and they got back together the next week…then he broke up with her again in May the friday night before the Saturday SAT test, in the middle of AP testing too boot! DEFINITELY not coincidence! Yes, I am still bitter about it.
I told DD2018’s boyfriend that if he broke up with her anytime near college testing dates, there would be hell to pay!
@Texasmom18 we had one of those with DS - it was the day of his high school graduation and his girly had a meltdown, was crying and carrying on in his room (she was a Jr he was a Sr) - he was so torn and I was soooooo furious. House full of people who had come from all over the dang country and I had to deal with the sniveling teenage drama queen.
Thankfully, same girl broke it off with him the spring of his college freshman year, I don’t care how broken his heart was, I did the happy dance! He darn near flunked out of college due to this girl but he got over it. She was not my favorite person - she is now 26, has 3 kids from a couple of different Dads. I was so glad when she went away. Almost two years of her nonsense and drama.
He’s 28, I’m still bitter I still mention it every once in awhile to remind him that I don’t care how many initials he has behind his name, he was once a teenage idiot who gave me gray hair lol!
@dadotwoboys I think they come from the same funding source. From what I understand colleges that offer this program have some flexibility in how they run their programs. At UTD it’s geared to high school graduates for the summer before they start college, it covers program costs, R&B and a small stipend.
Oh my gosh @2018/2022 mom - That cracked me up, too. I have also been checking out potential roommates (and their parents!) from the ED student and parent facebook pages. There is one I have jokingly been giving my daughter a hard time about. The students actually have put together a google doc with lots of different questions and my daughter has been going through them and eliminating some and tagging others. Some with legit criteria (sleeping habits, desire to study/party) and some COMPLETELY arbitrary ones “this girl likes pickles, that is weird. Delete” “I don’t trust people that don’t like dogs”, etc. It was making me laugh like crazy.
@SnowflakeDogMom - one of our really good friends transferred colleges to be with GF and, you guessed it, she dumped him. The DAY he moved in.
S18 has decided to take just the AP calculus test. He originally said both but changed his mind today to just the one.
Those of you whose child has decided on a college, please check immunization records. Don’t wait until the last minute! I was reading the college handbook online, and it stated students needed specific vaccines, according to Ohio law. I called my pediatrician today, he reviewed the records, and said S needs the other half of the menococal vaccine. I’m glad that’s all S is missing. I just didn’t want him to get there in August and there be issues.
That’s my PSA for the day.
:))
Yep just paid $752 for 8 AP tests- our school didn’t give us this 20% multi-test discount you mentioned @LMHS73! That would have saved me a bunch! Our school registers all the students and then we pay the school back at full price. I wonder if our school gets a discount?
@JerseyParents, for the college my DD18 plans to attend, there is a list of each AP test and based on the score you get (3, 4, or 5), which classes at the college she will get credit for. I just googled it and found it. I guess you knew that already. My DD18 will start at her college with 75 credits if she gets 4s on her AP tests including the 5 AP tests she took last year and she got 5s on those plus 8 more AP tests this year and 2 College credit plus classes. Of course, not all of these credits count towards her major, but they do knock out her core/general classes and calc 1 and maybe 2 if she chooses, chemistry, etc.
