Procedure for Advanced Placement Exam Registration for May 2012 Exam
If you are taking an AP course and wishing to write AP exams at Westside Preparatory School in May 2012, you must register with the AP coordinator at our school:
The cost is $130 per exam and is nonrefundable. The registration will close on March 20, 2012 or when spaces become full. Once you register for an exam, the exam is ordered and no refund will be given if you change your mind and choose not to write the exam. Please be warned that registration spaces for some exams may fill quickly and you may find certain exams closed before March 20. A student will NOT be able to register to write an exam past this deadline. Make the decision to write the exam before you register.
Please note: We are not able to accommodate the following AP challenge exams:
Studio Art, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, or Spanish Language and Culture, and Music Theory.
Be sure to record the date and time of the AP exam when you register and arrive at Westside Preparatory School, 778 Beatty Street, Vancouver no later than 20 minutes prior to the examination time. Picture identification is required to write the exam.
