Family Reminders for AP Testing

1. Families and students should take a look at the AP schedule and make sure they know where and when to be: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KNVyZ9Xou4xBaA9aQBki7ArJ7pv7BMyy/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107178821893099947385&rtpof=true&sd=true 
2. AP Testers have been made members of the AP Testing Schoology group, where reminders are posted.
3. Families should be aware that students must report to their testing rooms at 8:15 (riding buses that typically arrive by 8:30 is okay), and afternoon exams run past the end of the school day and bus departure. Families should arrange alternate transportation home. AP Exams must adhere to national start and end times, and students cannot start late or leave early, even if finished early.
4. Students should bring a pencil with them (most exams are online, but scratch paper is provided in each exam), an approved calculator (if needed), a sweatshirt (temperatures can vary in testing rooms), and, if desired, a water bottle and snack for the break.
5. Students who have two exams in one day may wish to pack a lunch as they will have approximately 20 minutes to eat between exams. 
6. For morning testers who wish to buy lunch, lunch will be held open until about 20 minutes after the exam releases. Students will get a 20-minute break before being required to report to class.
7. Cell phones are not permitted in testing rooms and must be off and away in a backpack that will be stored in designated areas. Students may not wear/have smart watches or any other devices that can take pictures or access the internet. (A complete list of prohibited items is available in the AP Terms & Conditions, which is linked to the AP Testing Schoology group.)
8. Students will test on school devices and, therefore, must have their College Board login credentials memorized to access the Bluebook App. Log-in credentials cannot be written down or stored in a phone. Only exams with listening components will be given in a paper format (these require a pen for the FRQ’s).
9. Students with approved accommodations for a documented disability should have received an email from Ms. Joy Cobb with their exact testing location. If any student is scheduled for two extended time exams in one day, please reach out to Dr. Rachel Loving to have one move to late testing.
10. Although it is past the deadline for a refund, if any student decides not to test (i.e., seniors who have discovered they have maximized all possible transfer credit to their selected college) they must still complete the cancellation form so attendance can be adjusted: https://forms.gle/8zuUM4xZFCjw6K2a8. 
11. Absences on testing day require documentation to qualify for late testing.

Good Luck AP Students!
