School Attendance:
AP Exams are part of the school day. You are expected to be in class following or before your AM/PM exam.
If you are absent on the day of your exam, you must speak with Mr. Shearer to determine if you are eligible to take the exam during the Late Testing week. The College Board has set specific criteria to determine eligibility for Late Testing. There may be an additional fee (per exam) to test during the Late Testing week.
Exam Conflict:
If you are registered to take two exams at the same time or have a scheduling conflict, please see Mr. Shearer to discuss the matter. Having two tests in the same day (AM and PM sessions) is not considered a scheduling conflict. Therefore, rescheduling an exam to be taken during the Late Testing week will not be arranged for students in this situation.
Exam Cancellations:
If you wish to cancel an exam there will be a cancelation fee.
