Grantmom Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I contacted the local high school about paying for the exam fees for this year. Last year, they made things very easy and were very accommodating, so I know we are very lucky on that front, after reading how others here have struggled with finding a location to test. They have been very helpful again this year, but they are charging double for the AP Physics C exam, since it is two parts. I was just curious if that was correct. I mean, I know it is two separate exams, but really each is just half of a regular exam, right? Just curious what others' experiences were with that exam.

Arcadia Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 . They have been very helpful again this year, but they are charging double for the AP Physics C exam, since it is two parts. CollegeBoard treats it as two separate exams so the collegeboard does charge the school full price per AP Physics C exam of $84 per exam. There are local students who take one but not the other as both can be full year courses. Link is CollegeBoard fees breakdown. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/ap_coordinators/exam_ordering_fees/exam_fees_reductions/index.html Same goes for the AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics exams. It is an exam fee each because that is how CollegeBoard charge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 That's correct. They are two separate exams so should each be charged for unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantmom Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Okay, just wanted to double check. They are already charging us more than that. They are charging us $93. Maybe to cover administrative costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristayl Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 $93 is the updated exam cost for this year from College Board. So they are not charging you anything extra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvonne Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Our local ps charges us $120/exam, but they even charge their own students $100/exam. :scared: CB sure won't go out of business any time soon, will they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I called 40 schools before finding one to give this exam. I'm paying for the exam and also for the proctor. :closedeyes: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantmom Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I had the same thought, yvonne. Yes, we are paying for the proctor, too. I was surprised that our local high school doesn't offer the course, because they are pretty big on math and science. But, I would rather pay the proctor fee than drive a few hours to the metro area. I do feel very lucky that the local school has been so accommodating, as I know others here have struggled with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that all depends on how many copies of the results they mail out to each student. :tongue_smilie: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5sons Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I am pretty sure we will have to pay proctor fees next year for this test. Anyone comfortable giving me a ballpark of what that might cost? Thanks! Kristen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Kristen I've been quoted several proctor fees this year in my search for AP tests. Anywhere from a flat fee of $50-$75/test or $15-$25/hour.
