On AP Exam Day
May 8, 2020
Good morning AP Students,
On exam day, remeber to click your e-ticket to check in 30 minutes before your exam start time. AP recommends that you allot 80 minutes for each exam—30 minutes to enter your AP ID, name, and other required information, and 50 minutes to draft and submit your responses. Remember that AP published a new exam schedule with local testing times, since each subject's exam will be taken simultaneously worldwide. Our exam times are listed as Central Time. You can view our Pine Tree HS AP exam schedule below with start times for our time zone.
What to do if something goes wrong...
- you accidentally close your browser
- your device crashes, or
- you lose internet access
Tip: During the exam, don’t refresh your browser or hit the back arrow.
Continue your exam, and if at the end of the exam, you feel that the temporary disruption negatively impacted your performance, you can request approval to take the makeup exam at cb.org/requestmakeup.
You can also request a makeup exam if you've lost too much time due to
- a technical problem
- you're unable to connect to your exam, or
- you experienced some other serious disruption
You must submit the make-up request form within 48 hours of your original exam date.
Your Testing Environment
- Remove distractions.
- Enable the do not disturb or quiet setting on your device to prevent interuptions.
- Let your parents, guardians, siblings, and friends know when you’ll be testing so they don’t disturb you.
- Make sure your device is plugged in.
- If you have limited bandwidth, ask others on your network to limit their use of the internet during your exam, particularly high bandwidth activities such as games like Fortnite and streaming services like Netflix.
- Have your checklist and any required documents next to you.
