Students may leave their bags and backpacks in their APHUG teacher's classroom during the test.
Students may not be dismissed until the exam has officially ended. Do not ask to leave early if you finish before the end of the test. You are allowed to bring a snack and beverage for your 10-minute break. However, eating is prohibited while you are taking an exam. It is advisable to bring a sweater or dress in layers, in case the room temperature is not at your comfort level.
Guessing on the exams: Scores on the multiple-choice sections of the AP exams are based on the number of questions answered. No points are awarded or deducted for incorrect answers or unanswered questions. Thus, random guessing will not lower your grade. However, if you have some knowledge of the question and can eliminate one or more answer choices, informed guessing from among the remaining choices is usually to your advantage.
You are required to abide by the policies of both College Board and Vandegrift High School during the exam. Students involved in any misconduct will be asked to turn in their exam materials and leave the testing room. Exam grades will be automatically cancelled in this event. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Martin in the Guidance office.
