Unapproved aids: Books, compasses, mechanical pencils, correction fluid, dictionaries, highlighters*, notes or colored pencils.*

You are required to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to your exam: 7:30 a.m. for the morning administration and 11:30 a.m. for the afternoon administration. 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. Please be prepared to get a ride home if the AP exam is dismissed after the buses depart.
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 Clarksburg High School during the exam period. Any misconduct will be reported and could jeopardize your AP Exam score.
Be sure to review the 2017-18 Bulletin for AP Students and Parents that you received in February. If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact me. Good luck!
Mr. Schulien, AP Corrdinator
