Preparing for the 2020 AP EXAMS
Important Information for Exam Day
Makeup Exam Schedule
FROM COLLEGEBOARD: Effective May 18th - For student with submission issues:
Submitting Exam Responses
We share the deep disappointment of students who were unable to submit responses.
Beginning Monday, May 18, and continuing through the makeup window, there will be a backup email submission process for browser-based exams.
This option will only be available for students who were not able to submit in the standard process—and they must then email their responses immediately following their exam.
These students will see instructions about how to email their response on the page that says, "We Did Not Receive Your Response." The email address that appears on this page will be unique to each student.
Any student testing between May 18–22 who can't successfully upload their response through the exam platform or send it to us by email, will need to request a makeup exam.
To protect the security and validity of exams, we're unable to accept submissions from students who tested May 11–15. However, these students can feel confident that the email option will be in place for them during the makeup exams.
Email submissions will not be available for the World Language exams.

5 Steps to Take Before Exam Day
IMPORTANT: REMOVE GRAMMARLY FROM YOUR DEVICE
The Grammarly Plug-in disrupts the testing platform and should be removed from the computer prior to the testing.
WEEK OF MAY 4th: TAKE PRACTICE EXAM
On May 4, you can practice submitting responses with the AP 2020 Exam Demo. It will allow you to practice the different ways to submit your responses. If you can't connect to this demo from your planned testing device, you won't be able to access the real exam on test day.
The AP Exam will only open in the latest versions of Chrome (recommended), Firefox, Safari, or Edge. It will not work in Internet Explorer. Google Chrome is free and available for download for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.
Beginning the week of May 11, you can also download and practice on the AP World Languages Exam App (WLEA). Use the app in practice mode to become familiar with its features, test your technology's compatibility, and check the quality of sound in your intended exam location.
