    Dear AP Students and Families,

    Welcome to the 25-26 school year and the opportunity to earn college credit or advancement by enrolling in Advanced Placement classes. Taking the AP exam is an important culmination to an Advanced Placement class.  Bellevue West High School encourages all students currently enrolled in an AP class to register for and take the corresponding exam in May of 2026.

     

    How to Register for an AP Exam

    • Create a College Board account or login to your account at myap.collegeboard.org.
    • Be sure to make a note of your username and password for accessing AP Classroom throughout the year.
    • Connect to each of your AP classes using the specific join code from your teacher/class section.
    • Set your exam decision indicator to “YES” for each exam you would like to order for testing in May.
    • Any account left set to “Undecided” or “No” by October 31st, 2025 will not have an exam ordered, including students who dual enroll through UNO.
