Info for AP test
Report to the testing area on time (7:30am/11:30am). This is 30 minutes prior to the start of the test. This is required for check-in purposes. The schedules are set based on the assumption that everyone is where they are supposed to be at the time they are supposed to be there.
Pay careful attention to directions on the registration form and directions given by the test administrators. They must make a formal report of any case involving students not following procedures. (Do NOT use an unapproved device, do NOT work on the wrong section of the test, etc.)
Remember that all talking is forbidden during the test. If an administrator sees a student talking during the test, he/she must report it. Do not put yourself at risk for having your score canceled.
Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy meal!
Please make sure you use the restroom prior to entering the testing site!
