AP Exam Preparation

Mon, 05/04/2020 - 2:44pm

As we rapidly approach the first week of spring AP testing, we wanted to check in and make sure that you are starting to prepare for your at-home exam administrations. A few reminders:

  • Check the schedule on the AP Coronavirus page to make sure that you know when your test is scheduled. You will need to log in 30 minutes before the exam begins. Please prepare to sit for the May dates. The June window is in place to provide options for technical difficulties or scheduling conflicts.
  • Get your device ready and make sure it can run Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge to deliver the exam questions. Internet Explorer cannot be used. If you have the Grammarly plug-in on your computer, you'll need to remove it to test. You can be sure your browser works by accessing the AP Exam Demo.
  • Read over pages 21-33 in the College Board AP Testing Guide for detailed information about preparing for the exams.

Note: AP Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish Language will require the use of mobile device or tablet to run the AP World Languages Exam App - available the week of May 11th. More information on World Languages administration. The Music Theory exam does not require an app, but a mobile device or tablet is recommended.

Thank you for taking the time to prepare for your AP exams. We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge without technical complications. Please visit the HCPSS Grades and Testing FAQ for additional resources.
