Advanced Placement Exam Registration

Taking the Advanced Placement exams is an important part of all AP courses. Boerne High School desires that all students take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can often earn students college credit for their high school class, saving a significant amount on tuition.

For the 2017 AP exams, students at Boerne High School will be registering online. This registration will take a few minutes and can be completed from any computer with internet access.
This year each AP exam costs $98.00. Boerne High School desires that every student be able to take their AP exams.  The 2017 AP Exams will be administered at 1910 Church over a two week period in May: May 1 through 5 and May 8 through 12.

Boerne High School is excited to continue to offer families the convenience of paying exam fees online at the time of registration. Please be sure to have a credit card or debit card available before beginning registration (VISA OR MASTERCARD credit or debit card).

Thinking about an out-of-state college?

Choosing where to attend for college is like finding a home for four years. These colleges offer overnight, weekend programs so prospective students can get up close and personal to the students and faculty that make up the college. Almost all of the opportunities listed here are expense-paid, while travel assistance can be requested for all others. We highly recommend that you visit your dream school (if it is listed here), as well as at least one safety so you know that you’ll be happy wherever you end up!

These are usually free or have a scholarship for travel if needed if it is not evident on the application (student needs to call and inquire).  Some of these are based on being a student of color/female depending on programming, and some take it into consideration, but don't require. 

Most of the dates are for 2016, but it'll give you an idea of what's available.
