Ms. Schmoldt’s AP Test Policy

Ms. Schmoldt’s AP Test Policy

·      AP classes have end of year exams that you can take to receive college credit.
·      To register to take the AP test go to the Financial Office and pay $93.
o   If you can’t afford that, come talk to me.
·      The AP Registration deadline is March 29th . Do this sooner, rather than later.

·      If you take the AP test on May 5th you will get an automatic 100% on the end of the year final (held the second week of May).

·      If you choose not to take the AP exam, that is fine. However, you will need to take the end of year final (May 5th-10th). The final is a full AP examination (55 M/C questions, 4 SAQs, 1 DBQ, and 1 LEQ). You will receive the score you get and have an opportunity for test corrections.


·      We will spend the month of April reviewing for the AP test/Final. Everyone is expected to participate to prepare for the test.
