Don’t be late: AM exams check in at 7:25. PM exams check in at 11:30.
Know your testing schedule: You may have AP Calculus and AP Computer Science A scheduled for the same day with one in the morning and one in the afternoon. You will be expected to take both exams as schedule. If you have a direct conflict with exams scheduled in the same day/time, one of them will be scheduled on a make-up day at the discretion of the coordinator.
Bring: Avoid:
#2 pencil (non-mechanical) Cell phones
Pen (dark blue or black) Internet/Bluetooth capable devices
Calculator* Things that make noise
Extra batteries
Flexible clothing (could be hot, cold or both)

*If you are taking an exam that allows a calculator, please bring your own calculator and come prepared with extra batteries. We will not have extra calculators or batteries available.
Please see the following link for calculator guidelines: https://professionals.collegeboard.org/testing/ap/test-day/calculators
Check in: Report to your testing location on time. A proctor will check the roster and assign your seat. Secure your non-testing materials (bag, snacks, drinks). Turn in your phone or don’t bring your phone. Identify your seat location and sit casually while we set up your test center.
