If the AP exam is not offered at American High School

If an FUSD AP exam is not offered at American High School, go to the FUSD AP Exam Request Google Form and submit your information.
Priority will be given to 12th and 11th grade students. It is unlikely that 9th and 10th grade students will be permitted due to space constraints. Placement at another testing location will be coordinated by FUSD staff.

All students will initially be placed on a WAITLIST once enrolled. Students will be removed from the waitlist in the following order:

  1. Students currently enrolled in the AP class 
  2. Students who are self-studying for an AP exam 

Within each group, priority will be given by grade level: 12th, 11th, 10th, then 9th.

Students will receive an email with payment instructions once they have been moved off the waitlist.

  • Cost: $125 per exam 
  • Financial Assistance: Students requiring assistance should email Mr. Peterson (sbpeterson@fusdk12.net) or contact their counselor.

    • October 7 – October 13, 2025: Registration window opens for self-study students for eligible self-study exams. 
  • Payment Deadline: Monday, November 3, 2025

Registration (2-Step Process)

    • Register on the College Board website using the unique join code provided by your AP teacher. 
    • Each teacher and class period has a specific join code. 
    • If you do not have a College Board account, create one using your personal (non-FUSD) email address. 
    • On the College Board site, select whether you plan to take the AP exam(s) in May. 
  2. Total Registration 
    • Register through Total Registration. 
    • Students with prior accounts should log in with the same credentials. 
    • NOTE: Once students register first on College Board and then on Total Registration, they will be placed on a waitlist. Students cannot pay until they are moved off the waitlist and receive a confirmation email with payment instructions.
