If students have an issue accessing a College Board account, please contact Mrs. La Vitola, dlavitola@lfschools.net or stop in her office, 205, for assistance.
Beginning Monday, September 16, payment for each exam can be made through Revtrak, https://lakeforest.revtrak.net/ap-exams/#/list, the LFHS payment portal. Simply click on the link and choose your exam from the list on the left of the screen.
