Advanced Placement (AP)

At Eden Prairie High School, we want every student to have a college level experience before they graduate. The Advanced Placement (AP) Program, sponsored by the College Board, is an opportunity for high school students to pursue and receive credit for college-level coursework. There are AP courses within almost every department so that students can take higher-level courses in areas they are passionate about. Any student can self-select into any AP course after meeting any prerequisite course and grade-level requirements.

Students should consider these courses if they would like to have more intellectually challenging classes. Colleges consider the rigor of high school coursework in their admissions decisions, as this shows students’ ability and willingness to work hard. Additionally, students have the opportunity to earn college credit.

Exciting News!

Beginning the 2023-24 school year, Eden Prairie Schools covers the cost for each EPHS and EPO student’s first Advanced Placement (AP) exam registration in their high school career!

Students who choose to register for more than one AP exam will be responsible for the subsequent AP exam registration fees. See “2024-2025 AP Exam Registration & Cost” tab for fee amounts. Students must take the AP course in full through EPHS or EPO-S and receive a final grade to be eligible for the First AP Exam Free Program.

Register for an AP Exam

Due to capacity limitations, we are unable to offer AP testing to students who are not a) a current student at Eden Prairie High School, b) a current student at Eden Prairie Online, or c) an Eden Prairie resident who is homeschooled. More information on where you might find additional testing centers can be found here.

There is a two part process for registering to take an AP exam. Each student will follow this process, regardless of whether or not it is their first AP exam registration. Both parts are necessary to complete in order to take an AP exam.

Part 1: Exam Registration through MyAP

Make sure you register with your full government name. Your name needs to match what it says on Campus. Double check your spelling!
Double check your ID number. This also must match exactly.
If either your name or ID number are wrong and you need help updating, contact the College Board student help at 888-225-5427.

2. Ensure you’ve joined your class section online.

If you haven’t, you’ll need to follow the steps to join your section online.

The join codes are on the “2024-2025 AP Exam Join Codes” tab. If you are taking an AP course, you should have done this in class.

3. Register-or confirm your registration-in My AP.

You'll see a Register button in your class section view in My AP after you join your class sections. Clicking this button to toggle to YES will let your coordinator know that you plan to take the exam, and they will order it for you.

Part 2: Exam Registration through MyPaymentsPlus

Create an account at MyPaymentsPlus by navigating to: https://www.mypaymentsplus.com/welcome. If you already have a MyPaymentsPlus account, you can log in to your existing account at the same link above.
On the left side, select the Events & Activities icon. Select the Show Filters icon and then select AP Exams under Categories.
If this is your first AP exam registration (or you are eligible through other means*), select the icon that says “*FREE* AP Exam Registration.”
Select the AP exam you would like to register for in the drop down list. Click the blue “Save and add to cart” button.
If you are registering for more than one AP exam, navigate back to the AP exams section and select the AP exam you wish to register for. Again, add the AP exam to your cart.
When you have added all of the exams you wish to register for, including your first free AP exam registration, it is time to checkout. Click the “Checkout” button with a shopping cart icon in the top right corner.

Please contact Nida Fareed at nida_fareed@edenpr.k12.mn.us with any questions related to My Payments Plus.
