Exams begin at 8:00 AM (morning session) and 12:00 PM (afternoon session). During the month of April, you will receive a final schedule showing when and where to arrive for your scheduled exam on campus. If you expect a conflict due to an athletic event on the same day of your test, or an AP/IB exam conflict (i.e., two tests on the same day and at the same time), you must let Mr. Dobson know immediately. Most tests are a minimum of 3 hours in length. However, this does not include signing in, seating, etc. Please plan accordingly with employers, rides, sports, etc.

PLEASE NOTE:
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 test, as your request will be denied. If you play a sport, have a job, or carpool, it will be your responsibility to inform your coach, employer, or ride of your AP obligation, and arrangements should be made accordingly.
Get a good night’s rest before your test, and eat a nutritious breakfast. You are allowed to bring a snack and beverage for your 10-minute break which will need to be stored away from the exam area; however, eating is prohibited while you are taking the exam. You are required to abide by the policies of both the College Board and Royal High School during the exam period. Any misconduct will be reported and could jeopardize your AP Exam grade.
Be sure to review the “AP Bulletin for Students and Parents” .
