Magnet News

Great job to all of our students who took AP tests in May! Please review the additional information about deadlines for score send, score cancellation, and viewing date.

Should there be a need, June 15th is the deadline for students to submit for a score cancellation. More information on College Board Exam Cancellation policies are available at Cancel Scores – AP Students | College Board.

All students should use their free score send to a college of their choice by June 20th. Set up instructions available at Use Your Free Score Send Before the Deadline – AP Students | College Board

AP Scores will be available to students on July 8th. Instructions to access are available at View Your AP Scores – AP Students | College Board

Now that AP testing has concluded, learn more about the scholar levels that will be announced this Fall. These are great goals for students to work towards as they consider next years classes. Every fall, the AP Program recognizes high school students who have demonstrated outstanding college-level achievement through their performance on multiple AP Exams.

AP Scholar Awards come in different levels and types. See the criteria here:

Qualification Details

• There are two steps to determining award winners:
  1. The student’s average AP Exam score is calculated based on all exams taken this year and in previous years.
  2. The student’s AP Exam scores are checked to see which ones count toward the various AP Scholar Awards.
• A student must meet all criteria to be eligible. For example, a student who has a 3.25 AP Exam score average but only received a 3 or higher on 3 exams will not receive the AP Scholar with Honor Award because the minimum requirement is a score of 3 or higher on 4 or more exams.
• Exams taken multiple times count only once; the highest score will be used for the award calculation.
• The AP Calculus AB subscore for the AP Calculus BC Exam and the aural subscore and nonaural subscore for the AP Music Theory Exam are not used in the AP Scholar Award calculations.
• The AP Scholar Awards are academic distinctions that students may cite among their credentials on applications, résumés, and so on. Students do not receive any monetary award from the College Board.
