College Board, which administers the Advanced Placement (AP) program, has moved up the registration deadline, and GCPS AP students have until Nov. 10 to register for optional AP exams for all first semester courses. (Students taking single-semester AP courses in the spring will have a later deadline.) GCPS pays the registration fee for the first AP exam for all Gwinnett students currently enrolled in an AP course. The student is responsible for the $10 non-refundable registration fee. Each additional exam registration is $94. Students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch pay only the $10 fee for any exams for which they register. Gwinnett students register and pay for AP exams on MyPaymentsPlus and must confirm that they will pay a $40 cancellation fee per exam if they miss or skip an exam. In Gwinnett, AP exams for 2019–20 are scheduled between May 4 and May 15. Students who pass an AP exam with a 3 or higher on a 5-point scale can earn college credit or exempt certain college courses.
