How do you receive accommodations on your AP exams?
College Board requires that all students who hope to use special accommodations on AP exams apply to College Board directly for approval and regulations.
Deadline to guarantee that College Board has reviewed your application before the Spring 2023 AP exams is 29 November 2023.
IEP or 504 status at your school does not automatically guarantee that College Board will approve your application, or approve the same accommodations as on your IEP or 504.
Application for accommodation is submitted to your school's College Board disabilities testing liaison. To find out who the liaison is at your school site, see your guidance counselor or email SDUHSD AP® Testing Offices.
College Board will notify you directly of the result and, if approved, provide you with an SSD number which must be added onto your physical exam materials.
Where do you report if you are approved for accommodations?
Students with approved accommodations for AP testing will receive an email with testing location information near the end of April.
Is there a fee to take exams with accommodations?
In some cases, special fees for equipment, one-on-one testing, or special spaces may be charged. Contact the SSD Coordinator, Kristin Kindred, at kmkindred@aurorak12.org for more information.
What if I need to take medication, food or drink into the testing room with me?
Only students approved by College Board to have medication or food/drink with them during testing will be allowed to enter the room with those items. Other students are recommended to bring snacks in clear plastic bags that can be left outside the testing area and are to be accessed only during breaks. Water in clear plastic bottles with no labels is allowed beneath your testing table/desk.
