Advanced Placement(AP)

The 2021 AP Exams will be administered between May 3 - May 14, 2021.  The exact date and time of each exam can be found on the AP section of College Board website. Simi Valley High School does not register students for exams or take payment.  Ordering and payment will be done completely through the online services, Total Registration and through the student’s College Board account.

This year each AP exam costs $95.00.  There is a multi-step process to ordering AP Exams and all steps must be completed before exams can be ordered.

• All students need to have a College Board account in order to register for AP exams.
• Students should go to myapcollegeboard.org and click on the Sign-Up button to create an account.
• This account should be created by the student. This account will follow you after your high school career.
• If you already have a College Board account, ensure that you can log-in successfully.

Step 2: Join AP Classes in College Board

• College Board requires that each student joins their AP classes on the College Board website at myapcollegeboard.org or by clicking on the AP section when logged into their College Board account.
• All students will join all of their AP Classes using the appropriate Join Codes provided to them by their teacher and/or through an email sent by Mr. Baxter.
