TESTING SCHEDULE: AP exams start Monday, May 1st. Please be advised that for morning AP tests, students should be lined up and ready to check-in by 7:30 a.m. Any student arriving once the doors close at 8:00 a.m. will not be allowed to take the exam. IF an exam begins in the afternoon students are expected to be lined up and ready to check-in by 12:00 p.m., any student arriving once the doors close at 12:20 p.m. will not be allowed to take the exam.
The Counseling Department will only clear absences for students who are in an exam. Students who miss school to study for an AP exam will not have their absence cleared through the Counseling Department.
Students are required to stay in the testing room until all tests have been collected and final instructions have been given. If students have an afternoon engagement, they should plan accordingly. Unfortunately, students cannot be pulled from the testing room for appointments or sporting events.
