Students already approved for AP testing accommodations do not need to re-apply. The deadline for first-time applications is January 17, 2020. It takes at least seven weeks for non-emergency applications to receive approval.

• Deadline for registering for 1st semester course exams is November 15, 2019. Deadline for courses that start after November 15 is March 13, 2020.

• After March 13, 2020, it is no longer possible to order exams from College Board.

While each test has different timing guidelines, an AP exam typically runs about 3 hours. Therefore it is important for students and parents to understand that morning exams will begin prior to the start of school (7:30 a.m.) and afternoon AP exams will not be completed by the end of the school day (3:10 p.m.). CollegeBoard requires all students to stay in the testing room until testing is completed. Students will not be allowed to leave for after school activities, jobs, etc., until the timed session has come to an end. Students will be responsible for finding alternative transportation to morning exams and home at the end of the exam for afternoon exams.

CollegeBoard rules also require students to power off all electronics and place them with the proctor during the exam. Students will not have access to cell phones during the testing session. They are also not allowed to use any form of communication device while on the CollegeBoard scheduled break. Students who break any of the CollegeBoard rules will be removed from the testing room and their scores will be cancelled.

A list of all Test Administration Policies and Procedures is available in the Bulletin for Students and Parents.
