Registration Instructions

Important:

• Note that because AP exams are being held at multiple locations around Portland this year, it is not possible to sign up for more than one exam per day. If there are conflicts (for example, if you want to take Chemistry and Psychology, which are held on the same day but at different locations), you will sign up separately for "Late Exams," at no extra cost. Instructions are below.
• Also note that World Languages will not be offered at late testing dates, so if you have a conflict involving a world language subject, sign up for the world language test now and sign up for the other test via late registration Instructions are below.

There are three steps to register for AP exams:

1. Go to the Wilson online registration site, log in using the student's apps4pps account and follow the instructions there. If you don't know the student account name or password for apps4pps, see Linda Campillo in the Library or David Rose in room 7 (or ask staff in the main office to call David if he's not in his office).
2. Once you receive the AP Registration confirmation email, pay online at schoolpay.com (via credit or debit card); scroll down or search until you see "Wilson High School Advanced Placement exam fee 2017". You may also pay in person at the Wilson Bookkeeper’s office in Room 149 via cash, check, or card) Each exam is $63.
3. Print out the forms attached to your confirmation email, sign where appropriate and turn them in to the Testing Coordinators office in the main office at Wilson.

AP Exam Schedule Conflicts?

If you find you want to take two AP exams that are offered on the same day, sign up for the one you want to take later using this form. Fill out the form, attach a check for $63, and turn it in to the Testing Coordinators.

Fee Waivers

Exam fees will be waived for students on free or reduced lunch. Financial assistance is also available for students who do not receive  free or reduced lunch. To request a fee waiver OR assistance, complete a Financial Assistance form and return it with your AP exam registration to the Testing Coordinators.

Accommodations

To request testing accommodations, contact Testing Coordinators Meg Merrill and Kari Smith Haight. Their office is inside the main office at Wilson.

According to the PPS AP Coordinators students should plan on exams taking 3.5 hours. Some exams may take less time but this is the general rule. If you have questions specific to the testing, call (503 916 5280 x75203) or email Wilson Testing Coordinators Kari Smith-Haight (ksmithhaight@pps.net) and Meg Merrill (mmerrill@pps.net), or visit them in the Testing Coordinators' office in the main office at Wilson.

How To Get Your AP Scores

AP scores will be available online beginning in early July. They will not be mailed to you. Before you can access your  AP Scores, you’ll need to sign up for a College Board account if you don't already have one. We encourage you to sign up for a College Board account as soon as possible (be sure to make a note of your username and password). Provide the same information on both your College Board account and your AP answer sheet. You may already have an account—try signing in to confirm.

AP scores are accessible online based on your physical location when you log in; the date of availability of scores is not based on where you live or where you took the exam. Look for an email in early July at the same address you put on your AP answer sheet, reminding you how and when to access your scores. Your browser must be set to allow cookies.

To access your scores you will need your Your College Board account username and password and your AP number (or student ID number if you provided it on your AP answer sheet).
