With over 25 exams being administered in the next two weeks, it can be hard to keep track of Advanced Placement (AP) testing and End-of-Course (EOC) exams. Below, is what students need to know for test day from schedules to rules and even a few tips and study guides.
For all AP tests in the morning, students are instructed to arrive at 7:30 a.m. Testing will begin at 8:20 a.m. Administrators have stressed the importance of arriving early, as students who arrive after instructions have begun will not be allowed to enter the testing room.
For all afternoon AP tests, students should inform their fourth period teachers who do not have A lunch that they have an afternoon AP test so they can take A lunch and arrive at their testing room immediately afterwards.
All AP testing room numbers can be found in a binder in student services, or a student can ask their teacher which room they are in. Posters listing testing locations have also been dispersed throughout the high school. EOC testing rooms will be posted on the student services windows. May 8 testing room numbers are scheduled to be posted in the main hallways.
IB exams also take place these two weeks as well. If IB exams conflict with a students AP exams they can reschedule them by emailing assistant principal Sean Bagley or contacting counseling secretary Donna Poe. Make-up exams will take place the week of May 19. Fees do apply to taking make-up exams.
EOC does allow for students to read a book once they are finished testing, and they must have their cell phones turned off and put away in their backpacks in the testing area. However, the AP tests do not allow cell phones in the testing area and no reading materials are allowed after a student finishes their test. AP testers need both pencils and pens as well.
Snacks and water bottles are allowed during breaks.
Here are the schedules below. Some tests are hyperlinked to test reviews.
