Brighton High School currently offers 22 AP classes for students to receive college credit with a passing score of 3 or higher. These tests can save a student thousands of dollars and prepare them for future college success. Please speak to your student’s counselor to see what classes are available.
On the first day of school, students will be prompted by their teacher to login to MyAP (this opens to a new website) to register for their sections and receive a join code. The disclosure statement has step-by-step directions. This is required for students to order their exam(s) in May.
The student will then need to go to the Main Office and pay $100 for each exam and $145 for AP Capstone. This needs to be done by November 8th for 1st Tri/All Year Classes and March 14th for any classes starting 2nd Trimester. Failure to register by these dates will result in a $40 Late Fee and/or a test not being ordered.
If a student elects to do self-study for an AP exam, they must contact the AP Testing Coordinator Erin Kaufman for the join code to order the test.
If your student is on a 504, IHP or other accommodation through the district, accommodations need to be filed to the College Board, subject to approval. Accommodations are not automatically granted and paperwork for requests need to be submitted in writing to Erin Kaufman by December 20th.
The most important update for all students to know for this year: AP has moved to a new digital format for many of their tests. All Social Studies/English have moved to a digital test-taking format. All Science/Math courses have been moved to a hybrid test model of a Digital Multiple Choice section and a Paper-Free Response Section. Accommodations must be given for paper-based testing.
