Dear AP Students,
We reach out to you today with our warmest greetings and hopes that you and your families are safe and well. Please review this message carefully as it contains a great deal of important information regarding this year’s AP exams.
All students enrolled in AP courses are expected to take the AP exam this May. Originally, College Board had stated that students would be able to choose between two testing dates--one sooner, and one later. What’s more, the testing schedule was designed in a way that eliminates potential testing conflicts, so everyone should be able to take their exams as scheduled. We strongly encourage all students to plan to take their AP exams during the Primary Exam Dates, from May 11th-22nd. Taking the test on the first opportunity will allow students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in as close as possible proximity to the learning. What’s more, preparing to take the test on the first date will allow for the use of the second date in the event of illness, technical difficulty or other conflicts. If a student encounters such a conflict around the second date, there is no additional testing window, and there will be no further opportunities to test. If you feel that you have a situation that would prevent you from testing during the Primary Exam testing window, please reach out to Ms. Zerbo or Mr. Samuelson to discuss your options.
In the coming days, we do expect additional information to be forthcoming from the College Board, including an AP Testing Guide, videos detailing how students might access and prepare for exams and information related to how students might access their approved testing accommodations. These College Board communications are being sent to everyone who has registered for an AP exam, using the e-mail address associated with their College Board account. It is important that you are checking for these emails, as this is also how you will receive your credentials to access your exams. If you have not been receiving communications from College Board, you should log in to your College Board account to check or update the email you’ve provided.
If you have any additional questions about this year’s AP Exam administration, please reach out to us for assistance.
Wishing you only the best,
Ms. Zerbo
Mr. Samuelson
