AP Microeconomics Exam Notes

 AP Microeconomics EXAM 

Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 12:00pm (eastern time).

The AP Microeconomics exam is less than 2 months away.  Here is an important notice regarding your responsibilities concerning registering for the AP exam.

This is a reminder to contact the College Board before March 1, 2012 to find locations for taking the AP Exam if your school does not offer this testing service. I have highlighted some important items in the College Board article below. About the last item, if your school has a school code, I believe, you may use it to insure that your results are received by your school. The Sevenstar Code is 000103 and should be noted on the exam. Make sure to prepare a list of all exams that you plan to take before contacting the College Board so they can direct you to the appropriate test coordinators in your area. 

Contact information is as follows: AP Services P O Box 6671 Princeton, NJ 08541-6671 Phone: (609)-771-7300 or toll free (888)-225-5427 E-mail: apexams@info.collegeboard.org Registration for AP Exam at www.collegeboard.com/ Click on “For student”, then in the blue College Board Tests click on AP to open information about the exam, registering, preparing, calendar fees, exam day, exam scores, etc. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or contact me at http://tungle.me/mrs.dannie.mckee or Mrs. Bird at kbird@sevenstar.org. If your school offers AP, contact your AP Coordinator to register for the exams. He or she will order the necessary materials, collect fees, and let you know when and where to appear for the exams.

Because parents and students cannot order exams directly, the AP Program encourages schools to assist home schooled students and students whose schools do not offer AP courses and exams. 

Schools that agree to administer exams to these students should note the following: Locating a school: Once a parent or student locates a school willing to administer the exam(s), that school's AP Coordinator is responsible for ordering the necessary exam materials and informing the student when and where to report for the exams. The Coordinator should make sure to record the exams the student plans to take. 

Exam fees: Coordinators should collect and submit these students' exam fees with those of the Coordinator's school. Coordinators may negotiate a higher exam fee with these students to recover additional proctoring or administration costs. Photo ID: Coordinators should remind these students to bring valid photo identification, which must be checked on exam day. Exclusion from your school's grade reports: Because these students will be using a different school code (Our AP Exam code is 000103.), their exam grades will not be included with the administering school's grade reports. 

Necessary accommodations: Any home schooled student with documented disabilities must first be approved for testing accommodations by the College Board. The student must also notify the school that accommodations may be needed. How home schooled students can arrange for testing Students can arrange to test at participating schools by following the steps below (students in mainland China should contact international@collegeboard.org): Contact AP Services no later than March 1 to get the names and telephone numbers of local AP Coordinators. 

Students should prepare a list of the exams they plan to take prior to calling so that the appropriate Coordinators can be identified. Contact the Coordinators identified by AP Services no later than March 15. Students should inform each Coordinator they contact that: You are trying to locate a school willing to administer AP Exams to outside students. Students should note the exams they plan to take. You may use Sevenstar's AP exam code 000103, ensuring your exam grade(s) will be reported separately from the school at which they test.
