Advanced Placement (AP) testing will take place May 6-17, 2019, at North Stafford High School. 

Testing will take place for only students currently taking an AP course or AP courses for the current school year.  Students will be notified by their AP instructor about which testing location to report to prior to the test date.

We know our AP students are going to do well with the tenacity that they have shown in their AP course(s).  We are very proud of our students and their accomplishments!

AP testing is done in a controlled environment by a testing proctor.  There is no talking during the test.

Students are to report promptly on time to their testing location following the schedule below.  Students are to follow all rules and regulations set forth by the testing proctor.

AP test fees are due immediately before taking the test, if the fee has not already been paid prior to the test date.  Fees may be paid in the Counseling Center Monday-Friday from 7:00 AM-3:00 PM.  Students taking an AP test or tests have been notified prior about the amount due for their test(s).

Fees may be paid by cash, check, or money order.  Please make checks and money orders out to North Stafford High School.  Personal checks will only be accepted until Friday, May 10, 2019 for the current school year.  After May 10, 2019, all other forms of payment, including cash, money orders, cashier checks, and our Online School Payments System, will still be accepted.  With some slight variations, most of our students will owe $94.00 per test.  View the Advanced Placement Test Fees.  For questions about payment, please connect to Extension 1122, the Counseling Center.
