- Parents login to the SmartSchoolK12 pay system and pay for exams.
- Students enroll and join their AP class in their College Board MyAP account.
Registration is NOT complete and AP exams cannot be ordered unless both steps 1 and 2 are completed. If students have not done this in class and need a “join code”, email aptesting@mvpschools.org. Students in AP classes that start Monday (1/27) (2nd semester only AP classes) will register and pay for their 2nd semester only exams in January or February.

PreACT testing is important for all students, as it focuses attention on both career preparation and improving academic achievement. The PreACT test will point out students’ academic strengths and areas that need improvement. It can help those students who are college-bound, as well as those who plan to enter the workforce directly after high school. Additional information can be found on the ACT website at: Practice Taking the ACT - PreACT - K12 Solutions
