For All Exams:
Please come ready to start your exam when you arrive - pencils sharpened, chromebook fully charged, already stopped at the restroom, etc. Check the list of what to bring/what not to bring below. We will begin promptly!
IMPORTANT! You are required to arrive at the given arrival time. Students may not be dismissed until an exam has officially ended. Do NOT ask to leave early if you finish before the end of the exam, as your request will be denied. If you play a sport or have a job, it will be your responsibility to inform your coach or employer of your AP obligation and arrangements should be made accordingly. An attendance roster will be published for the school prior to and after each exam. You will be excused from your regular school classes for the entire day.
Students should bring with them only what is necessary for exams. In most testing rooms, we have very little extra space for student belongings.
What to Bring:
Your school badge or another form of identification
Fully charged Chromebook & charger
Several sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers (not mechanical pencils)
Pens (dark blue or black ink only)
Calculator (Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Statistics, and Physics only) - be sure your calculator meets the requirements here. No calculators will be provided.
Ruler for Physics tests that allow a ruler. No protractors allowed.
A watch (NOT a smartwatch) so you can monitor time
Layers of clothing (it could be 80+ in the library or it could be 65 in the conference center - it is unpredictable)
Water/small snack
Bagged lunch if you are taking two exams on the same day or if you have morning extended test time. You might consider bringing a "snack lunch" that you can eat throughout the day if you are taking multiple tests.
What NOT to Bring:
Books, compasses, correction fluid, dictionaries, highlighters or notes
Backpack/large bag
Test prep books/class notes/textbooks/etc. - these cannot enter the test room at all. Leave them at home.
