AP Exams
Here is a quick update regarding the College Board’s plan regarding the 2020 AP Exam Administration. There are many updates to come, so
we ask that students wait until they have all the details to make an informed decision regarding the AP Exams.
- There will NOT be any face-to-face AP exams this year
- Students will take AP exams at home
- Exams will be 45 minutes
- Exams will NOT contain multiple-choice questions
- Exams will be administered online
- Students will be able to take the exam on one of two separate dates to be announced by the College Board on April 3
- Exams will be assessing a reduced scope of content, content that would “typically” have been covered before March
- Students will have the option of canceling their exam(s), and the College Board will waive the fee.
Once additional details are provided by the College Board, the District will contact students who registered for AP Exams regarding testing.
Thank you for your continued flexibility at this time.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert Scherrer
Superintendent
