ADVANCE PLACEMENT (AP) EXAMS
NEW! AP Exam Registration Information
Handsworth AP Students in Enrolling Classes: Students enrolled in an AP course in a classroom at Handsworth will be asked to indicate whether they wish to write the AP exam for their course when they sign-in to their College Board Account and join their courses. AP teachers will walk students through this process in class and provide them with the “Join Code". Students who do not want to write the AP exam for their course in May 2022, must let their teachers know by Monday, November 1st so that their exam order can be cancelled without a fee. For those students writing their exam, please be sure to pay your fees ($150) online through your School Cash Online Account by November 1st, 2021.

- Request an exam sitting by filling out the form using this link or the QR Code.
- Pay an exam fee ($225). For Handsworth Students pay through your School Cash Online Account, or if you are not a Handsworth student by providing a cheque to the Handsworth main office (made out to Handsworth Secondary School). If you decide not to write before November 15th there will be a $50 processing fee. After November 15th there are no refunds for cancelled exams or exam no-shows.
- Once you have completed the two steps above (form and payment), you will be emailed a "Join Code" to the e-mail address you have provided on the form. Once you have your "Join Code" you must then register yourself with the College Board to indicate you will be joining a “Self-Study" course section and will be writing the exam at Handsworth.
