Two exams in a day:
You will need to bring a bag lunch. You will have an opportunity to eat (quickly, ~ 15 minutes) in a designated area between exams. You might also consider bringing a "snack lunch" that you can space out and eat during the exam breaks and the break between tests.
All Exams:
Please be ready to go when you arrive! Pencils sharpened, stopped at the restroom, etc. Check the list of what to bring/not bring below. We will begin promptly!
Students cannot be dismissed early from an exam. All test takers must remain until all tests are collected and counted.
Students should bring with them only what is necessary for exams. In most testing rooms, we have very little extra space for student belongings.
On the day of their exam, students should only go to their exam. They are not required to attend regular classes.
What to Bring:
Several sharpened No. 2 Pencils with erasers (not mechanical pencils)
Pens (dark blue or black ink only)
Calculator (Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Statistics, Physics only) - be sure yours meets the requirements. No calculators will be provided.
A ruler - for Physics tests that allow a ruler. No protractors allowed.
Chromebook and power cord - for Spanish tests ONLY
A watch (not a smartwatch) so you can monitor time
Layers of clothing (Temperatures are unpredictable).
Other necessary items: inhaler, tissues, period products (keep these on your person or in a small bag (e.g. pencil case) that you keep with you. You won't have access to your backpack during the test.
Water/small snack
Bagged lunch - if you have two exams in the same day, or if you have a morning extended time test. You might consider bringing a "snack lunch" that you can eat throughout the day if you are taking multiple tests.
What NOT to Bring:
Backpack/Large Bag - if at all avoidable.
Chromebooks (except for Spanish exam)
Test Prep Books/Class Notes/Textbooks/etc - These can not enter the test room at all. Leave them home.
Cell Phones/Smartwatches - The official College Board policy is no phones in the testing room. Any cell phones, etc. that make it to the testing room will be turned off, collected and returned to you after all exams have been collected. If you don't want us to take it, don't bring it at all.
Mechanical Pencils
Anything that makes noise
Anything that covers your head (hoodie, hat)
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: SPANISH EXAM
On test day, you will need to bring your Chromebook and charger with you to the test.
Prior to exam day, you will need to practice with the recording app, to be sure it works properly on your device, and to ensure that you are comfortable using it. Your teacher will also assist with practice.
Here are instructions for practice. You should pull these up on a separate device or print them, because you won't be able to see them while you are in the recording app.
DAC App Instructions - For Practice
Some important information about this exam:
If your Chromebook doesn't work, you should contact the Tech Dept now to get it repaired. Please don't wait until exam day.
On test day, we will provide you with a sanitized set of headphones with a microphone. It's very loud and clear, even with a mask. You cannot use your own headphones on exam day.
You can pull the headphones off your ears when you are listening to the audio, and then pull them over your ears. This will also cut down somewhat on the distraction of hearing the people around you, who are doing their recordings at the same time.
PLEASE take the time to practice. We won't be providing remedial instructions on exam day for students who did not practice on their own.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The College Board requires that all students accept the terms and conditions. You will be asked for confirmation of your agreement to these terms as part of your test on exam day.
ABSENCES FOR EMERGENCIES
Students who have an emergency and are unable to test as scheduled should contact Mrs. Pupecki, AP Coordinator, immediately by email. We will determine if you are eligible to reschedule to a future testing date.
Exams may be made up in very limited circumstances; a doctor's note will be required for absences missed due to illness.
If you are quarantined, please make sure that you tell me - please do not assume that message will be relayed to me. All information will be confirmed with the School Nurse.
