Students may not be dismissed until an exam has officially ended; do not ask to leave early if you finish before the end of the exam. If you play a sport or have a job, it is your responsibility to inform your coach or employer of your AP Exam obligation, and arrangements should be made accordingly.

Get a good night’s rest before your exam, and eat a nutritious breakfast. You are allowed to bring a snack and beverage for your 10-minute break. However, food and drink are prohibited in the exam room. It is advisable to bring a sweater, in case the room temperature is below your comfort level.  

You are required to abide by the policies of both the College Board and Sheyenne High School during the exam period. Any misconduct will be reported and could jeopardize your AP Exam score. If you decide not to take an exam, please inform Mr. Bodell as soon as possible prior to the test administration.  Be sure to review the 2022-23 Bulletin for AP Students and Parents that you received earlier.  If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact Mr. Bodell. Good luck!
