Lake Oswego High School's Advanced Placement Exam Registration
ATTENTION! Students and guardians should complete this registration/enrollment together. This is a two-step process and both steps MUST be completed to access the AP Classroom resources and/or order AP Exams. The entire process (both steps) can be completed in a single sitting in approximately 10 minutes.
- Complete the registration process in Total Registration.
- Enroll all your AP courses and exams in the College Board's MyAP system with the Join Codes you will receive at the end of this registration process.
Students taking AP courses/exams at Lake Oswego High School must enroll/register by Nov 8th 3pm. There is no cost for enrolling in AP courses, but the 2025 AP Exams cost $86 per exam.
A confirmation page indicates that the first step has been completed. The confirmation page will include the information needed to complete the second step of enrolling courses/exams in the College Board's system, MyAP.CollegeBoard.org. This step should be completed right away as exams will not be ordered if both steps are not completed.
Lake Oswego High School is excited to offer families the ability to pay their exam fees online at the time of registration. Please be sure to have a credit card or debit card available before beginning registration.

AP Exam Expectations
Dear AP Test Takers & Parents/Guardians,
AP exam administration will take approximately 4 hours per exam. Students may not be dismissed until an AP exam has officially ended; do not ask to leave early, even if everyone else has also completed the exam. If you play a sport or have a job, etc., it is your responsibility to inform your coach/employer/etc., of your AP Exam schedule, and make arrangements accordingly.
Get a good night’s rest before your exam, and eat a nutritious breakfast. You are allowed to bring a small snack and water for your 10-minute break (not at your desk). It is advisable to dress in layers, in case the room temperature is above or below your comfort level.
You should bring the following items to the exam room:
- Several sharpened No. 2 pencils (with erasers) for all multiple-choice answer sheets. No mechanical pencils allowed.
- Several pens with black or dark blue ink for completing areas on the exam booklet covers and for free-response questions in most exams.
- Photo ID-This can be Student ID, Government ID, etc
- Up to two calculators--but only for authorized exams. Clarify with your instructor in advance and visit collegeboard.org/ap/calculators to verify whether a calculator is approved and what capabilities are authorized (i.e., Four-function (with square root)? Scientific? Graphing?)
You should not bring the following to the exam room:
- Cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, e-mail/messaging devices, and any other electronic or communication devices including “smart” watches, etc.
- Books, compasses, colored pencils, correction fluid, erasers, dictionaries, highlighters, or notes.
- Rulers and straightedges (except for AP Physics exams).
- Pencil sharpeners (which is why bringing several sharpened pencils is strongly advised).
- Scratch paper (notes can be made on portions of the exam booklets).
- Computers or calculators (except as noted above).
- Watches that beep or have an alarm (a clock will be visible to all testers).
- Portable listening or recording devices (even with headphones) or photographic equipment.
- Clothing with subject-related information.
- Refer to the College Board webpage What Students Can and Cannot Bring
You are required to abide by the policies of both the College Board and the Lake Oswego School District during the exam period. Any misconduct will be reported and could jeopardize your AP Exam grade. Cost, payment, deadlines, additional fees, cancellations, schedule-conflict processes, etc.,
