AP TEST INFORMATION
REGISTERING FOR AP EXAMS
As you know, taking the Advanced Placement exams is an important part of all AP courses. Milton High School desires that all students take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can possibly earn student's college credit for their high school classes, saving a significant amount on tuition.
If you choose not to take the AP exam, there is an opt-out form that needs to be signed by you and your parents. This form must be completed and returned to your teacher no later than March 11, 2019. The form can be printed from the registration site. Students can also get a copy of the form from your AP teacher.
Students wishing to take AP exams must register for their tests online. This registration will take a few minutes and can be completed from any computer with internet access. AP exams are given to Milton students at no cost. Students will have the ability to continue in this tradition by registering for their tests during the priority registration window.
Online Priority Exam Registration will begin on Friday, February 1, 2019 at 12:00 AM. You will have until Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 11:59 PM to complete your registration at no cost. Online Late Registration will begin on Thursday, March 7, 2019 at 12:01AM, at a cost of $25 per exam, and end on
Wednesday, March 12 at 11:59PM.
To complete the registration, students must answer all required questions.
Registration is not complete until students have printed the confirmation .pdf of the confirmation page that is provided at the end.
We know that parents may desire to register their students for exams. We strongly recommend that parents and students are both present while registering to ensure that the correct exams are ordered. Here are the important dates for the registration process:
- 2/1/19-12:00AM - AP Priority Test Registration Opens
- 3/6/19-11:59PM- AP Priority Test Registration Ends
- 3/7/19- 12:01AM - AP Late Registration Begins-payments after this date will incur a $25 late fee per exam
- 3/12/19- 11:59PM- AP Late Registration Ends
AP TEST ACCOMMODATIONS
The deadline to submit AP accommodations is February 22, 2019 for any student wanting to apply for accommodations for AP testing. Please contact the SSD coordinator, Jennie Pullano, as soon as possible if you have documentation that you would like to submit to the College Board. Mrs. Pullano's contact email is PullanoJ@fultonschools.org.

TOWEL DRIVE DOES THE MOST GOOD
Milton Baseball Annual Towel Drive for Red Shield Shelter Culminates with Delivery The Milton Baseball Team once again played a part in "Doing the Most Good" for those in most need with their 3rd Annual Towel Drive for The Salvation Army's Red Shield Shelter in downtown Atlanta. Seventeen members of the program, along with several parents, delivered the towels right after the holidays. While at the shelter the players toured the facility, learning more about the largest shelter in the metro area and the numerous programs for veterans, addiction, recovery and families. Thank you again to everyone who donated towels-and congratulations to our prize winners-including the lucky student who won a parking pass for next year!
