Note about exam timing: You are required to report to the testing site at 7:15am for a morning exam and 11:30am for an afternoon exam. Students may not be dismissed until an exam has officially ended. 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. Many afternoon AP Exams will NOT end prior to dismissal so alternate transportation arrangements will likely need to be made.
Make-Up Testing: The following are approved reasons to schedule a make-up AP exam outside of the normal testing window: two AP exams during the same exam block, conflict with an IB exam, serious illness*, family tragedy, or sports or academic competition. (*Students must provide a doctor’s note if they miss an exam due to illness.) Students should notify the Counseling Office at the time of exam registration if students have two AP exams in one block or there is a conflict with an IB exam. There is no make-up testing for any other reason.
Special Testing Accommodations: Students with documented disabilities who do not already have accommodations approved by The College Board, must submit their request by 01/18/2024. Students should contact the Counseling Office for information on requesting accommodations well in advance of this deadline.
