The status of AP Exams is in flux. Our own Mr. Harb, Methuen High School's AP Coordinator, will keep you posed. Our teachers are working on the best way to maintain instruction in these classes.
Here are some free remote learning resources for AP courses. from the College Board.
About This Year’s AP Exams
For each AP subject, there will be 2 different testing dates this year. The full exam schedule, specific free-response question types that will be on each AP Exam, and additional testing details will be available by April 3rd on AP Central.
Traditional face-to-face exam administrations will not take place. Students will take a 45-minute online free-response exam at home.
AP will continue to support students with free resources through exam day.
While we encourage students to wait until closer to the test date to decide, any student already registered for an exam can choose to cancel at no charge.
The AP Program will provide these additional supports.
For the 2019–20 exam administration only, students can take a 45-minute online exam at home. Educator-led development committees are currently selecting the exam questions that will be administered.
To be fair to all students across the country, some of whom have lost more instructional time than others, AP will ensure that the exam will only include topics and skills most AP teachers and students have already covered in class by early March.
Colleges support this solution and are committed to ensuring that AP students receive the credit they have worked this year to earn. For decades, colleges have accepted a shortened AP Exam for college credit when groups of students have experienced emergencies.
Students will be able to take these streamlined exams on any device they have access to—computer, tablet, or smartphone. Taking a photo of handwritten work will also be an option.
AP recognizes that the digital divide could prevent some low-income and rural students from participating. AP is working on ways these for these students to have the tools and connectivity they need to review AP content online and take the exam. If your students need mobile tools or connectivity, you can reach out to AP directly.
Instructional Support
Beginning on Wednesday, March 25th, students and teachers can attend free, live AP review courses, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. These mobile-friendly classes are:
Designed to be used alongside work that may be given by schools.
Will be recorded and available on-demand so teachers and students can access them any time.
Not dependent on current AP teachers continuing instruction. We know many AP teachers now face challenges that would make that impossible.
Will focus on reviewing the skills and concepts from the first 75% of the course. There will also be some supplementary lessons covering the final 25% of the course.
