AP Exam Administration begins. 

AP Exam Fees:

Please read this CAREFULLY - this has important information about this year’s AP exams!

Dear Parents and Students,

Please read the following testing procedures carefully.  Failure to adhere to procedures may result in an AP exam being voided with no refund given. 

1. ALL AP exams will be digital or a hybrid of digital and paper. You will need your FBISD assigned device to take your exams.

2. AP testing only occurs once a year.  If you oversleep or arrive late for an exam, you have missed your opportunity to test this school year.  We strongly advise you to take the following precautions to ensure that this does not happen:

1. Pack your book bag with the appropriate testing supplies (picture ID, pens, sharpened pencils, calculator for calculator-based exams) the night before.  Do not wait until the morning of the test to look for these items.
   **Mr. Williams strongly suggests bringing a clear gallon Ziploc baggie with these materials in it in lieu of a backpack, or to make arrangements with your teacher to keep your backpack in their classroom for the duration of the exam**.
2. Use an alarm clock.  Leave your house earlier that morning and factor in traffic. You will be one of many coming to school early for AP Exams!
3. Make your guardians aware of your exam dates and that you need to arrive at school early on those days.  Ask your guardian to check on you that morning and wake you up if you accidentally oversleep and/or have an accountability friend to text you or call you to make sure you’re awake on time to come to school for your exam.
4. Do not stop at a fast-food restaurant for breakfast or coffee.  You cannot anticipate how long you will wait in line for your food.  Eat a healthy breakfast at home.

“I overslept”, “the line at Starbucks was long”, and “I forgot I had to be here at 7:15 am” are not valid reasons for missing a standardized test.  You have worked too hard to prepare for this exam to miss your opportunity to test.  Please adhere to the above recommendations to ensure that this does not happen. 

3. Late arrivers will not be admitted into the testing room.  Please note the morning exam times are different from those posted on the College Board website.

               Morning Exams: 7:30 AM start time (please arrive at the test site NO LATER THAN 7:15AM)

Afternoon Exams: 12:00 PM start time (take “A” lunch, and please arrive at the test site NO LATER THAN 11:40AM)

**Note: you will not be allowed to leave the testing site early for any reason. For PM exams, especially, be prepared to stay until at least 4:30PM.**

3. Bring your ID (government or school issued ID) and proper testing materials for all AP exams. Students will not be allowed to test without a picture ID. 

5. Food and drink may be left at the front of the testing room to be consumed during the break.  Food and drinks are not allowed at your desk during testing
   (unless this is preapproved accommodation by the College Board, or we have medical documentation of a condition that would require you to need food/drink at your desk. This documentation must be provided and approved by the AP Coordinator during the registration period).

6. Information on testing locations, times, special instructions, and supplies you are required to bring to the exam will be posted in the AP Exam Schoology course and given to your teachers. You may also check your AP Classroom account for your personalized exam schedule. When you receive messages from your teacher, Mr. Williams, or the College Board, please be sure you keep them for future reference. You will need to review this information to find out what you need to bring and if there are any special instructions for your exam. 

7. If you have an afternoon exam, you will take “A” lunch on the day of your exam.  You will need to report to the gym NO LATER than 11:40am on the days that you have 12:00 pm exams.  If you have back-to-back exams, bring a lunch with you to eat quickly in-between exams.

8. If a student does not show up for their exam or is unable to test or has his or her test voided due to failure to adhere to testing guidelines, there will be no refund. Students may also be required to pay a $40 “unused exam” fee. Only those who have a DOCUMENTED, valid extenuating circumstance for missing their exams (see page 1) will have their exams rescheduled for a later date.

4. Please review this sheet the week before AP exams and the day before each test to remind yourself of the things you need to do and bring to be prepared for you exam(s).

5. College Board allows make-up testing only under the following extenuating circumstances:

1. Serious illness/injury requiring an emergency room visit or hospital admittance (hard copy, signed doctor’s note required)
2. UIL event at the same time as an AP exam.
3. Family Tragedy (documentation required)
4. Exam schedule conflict where two exams are scheduled for the same time.

Please be aware that all circumstances must documented, and make-up exams arranged PRIOR TO MAY 16^th.

Since makeup AP exams take place during semester finals this school year, students are responsible for arranging makeup exams with their teachers if a student’s final exam conflicts with a makeup AP exam. Students WILL be allowed to keep their exemptions (if applicable) in the event they need to miss a semester final exam to take their AP exam.

UIL Conflict:  The student is responsible for notifying the testing coordinator as soon as he or she is made aware of this conflict. 

The student is responsible for notifying the testing coordinator within two business days after qualifying for the UIL event.  Failure to notify the testing coordinator within that specified time frame will result in the student being unable to participate in late testing. 

College Board may charge an additional $40 per exam for students who choose to test on an alternate date in order to attend an UIL event. 

Two exams scheduled for the same time:  If you have two exams that are scheduled for the same time, you will be contacted by Ms. Drake and notified as to which exam you will take on the regular test date and which exam will be taken on the make-up date. You may also see these changes reflected in your AP Classroom account.
