EXAM DAY LOGISTICS
Morning Exams:
Report Time: 7:30am
Report directly to your assigned testing room.
Most exams are around 3 hours long
Lunch: Students will be able to eat lunch after testing. Extended time students and students taking two tests in a day should bring their lunch from home.
Students may leave school after their exam is completed.
Afternoon Exams:
Report Time: 11:30am. Report times vary and may be adjusted if the morning exam runs late.
Students may arrive at school just prior to the start of their exam.
Report directly to your assigned testing room.
Students must pre-arrange their own transportation home for all afternoon exams. You will not catch the bus. End times for afternoon tests are unpredictable, and may vary. Extended time exams will end later than the regular exam.
Lunch: If you plan to arrive just prior to the exam, you should plan to eat before arriving to school. Students attending the whole day should eat 1st lunch.
Make sure to tell your coach or advisor that you will miss practice/games/meetings, if applicable.
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:
All AP Exams require a school issued chromebook. Please make sure your chromebook is charged.
Several sharpened No. 2 Pencils with erasers (not mechanical pencils)
Pens (dark blue or black ink only)

A watch (not a smartwatch) so you can monitor time
Layers of clothing (Temperatures are unpredictable).
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.

Test Prep Books/Class Notes/Textbooks/etc - These can not enter the test room at all. Leave them home.
