Know what to do (and not to do) on exam day:
Here are some important exam day policies to keep in mind when you’re getting ready to take your AP Exam.
What to Bring to the Exam Room
You want to be prepared with items such as No. 2 pencils for your multiple-choice answer sheet, pens with black or dark blue ink for completing areas on the exam booklet covers and for free-response questions in most exams, and your government-issued or school-issued photo I.D.
What Not to Bring to the Exam Room
You don’t want to bring any electronic equipment or communication devices, like cell phones, smart phones, tablets or anything else that can access the Internet, any cameras or other photographic equipment, or even any watches that beep or have an alarm.
Room Assignments
Specific room and building assignments will be given to students through the individual classes.
Break
During the break between Sections I and II of your AP Exam, or during any other unscheduled breaks, you are not allowed to consult textbooks, notes, teachers or other students; and you may not use any electronic or communication devices, like your cell phone, for any reason.
Also, you may not leave the building at any time during the exam administration, including during a scheduled break.
Remember, whether it is during breaks or after the exam, you must not communicate anything to anyone, including your classmates and your teachers, about the multiple choice questions that appeared on your AP Exam.
Discussing Exam Questions
Do not email, text, post or in any other way circulate AP Exam information through any kind of social media, or your AP Exam score may be canceled and you could also be banned from taking future AP Exams.
Also, while you are able to talk about the free-response questions from the regularly scheduled exam, you can only do so after two days and if your particular free-response questions have been posted to the College Board website.
The AP Exam is intended to be a fair assessment of your academic ability. Sharing exam information in any unauthorized way compromises the integrity of the exam for all AP students, and for the colleges and universities that grant credit or advanced placement for qualifying AP scores.
Dress code
Students do not have to wear uniforms to the exam. Please dress comfortably AND appropriate. Students can wear sweat pants, jeans, etc. HOWEVER, students MUST be in uniform when they report back to school.
LUNCH and REPORTING BACK TO STA
Students are required to report back to STA at the beginning of the last hour of classes. This should be at 1:20 P.M. Students should eat lunch prior to returning to STA.
