Students
will have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement examinations during the
month of May. The advantages of taking these exams as well as the format and
content of the exams are described in the 2017-2018 Bulletin
for AP Students and Parents (also
available on paper in the student's Counseling Office) and will be discussed in
the AP classes. The online registration
process will begin on Jan. 30 and the deadline
to register will be March 26.
This
online registration will walk you smoothly through each step of registering
your student for their AP exams.
The fee for each examination is $100.00. Your child may qualify for a free or reduced exam if they currently qualify under the federal lunch program. For more information about free or reduced exams, please contact Nathan Dumford, Assistant Principal at 513-232-7770 ext. 2808 if you have questions concerning your eligibility or would like information to complete the process.
Payments
may also be made in person at Turpin High School, 2650 Bartels Rd. If you wish
to register in person, please contact Nathan Dumford, Assistant Principal at
513-232-7770 ext. 2808 to make an appointment. Checks or money orders for registration will only be accepted if
registration is completed in person and must be made payable to the Forest
Hills School District. Payments mailed will NOT be accepted.
Students
are required to take exams at specifically scheduled nationwide times. (See
Bulletin, back cover.) Early testing is not permitted under any circumstances.
Under special approved circumstances, defined by the College Board, an exam may
be administered at a later date using an alternative form of the exam.
Please
contact the counseling department at Turpin High School about the process to
request special accommodations if your child's disability impacts his/her
participation in standardized testing.
The College Board Services for Students with Disabilities approve
the requests NOT Turpin High School. If
your student has been approved by the College Board for testing with
accommodations, please give a copy of the College Board letter you received
listing the accommodations granted to your student's counselor.
Exam
registrations must be completed online by Monday,
March 26, 2018.
Students
will receive further information regarding specific exam times, room locations
and schedules at a later date.
Parents
or students having questions about the exams should contact their Advanced
Placement teachers.
