In May and June, The College Board will administer full-length Advanced Placement exams in all AP courses. The College Board is offering schools a variety of testing options including traditional paper tests taken in school and digital exams taken at home or in school.
We have a confluence of events and state mandates creating challenges under COVID restrictions. Our primary responsibility is to keep all students and staff safe when planning. We are currently planning for increased numbers for in-person learning while simultaneously planning for AP and MCAS exams, which overlap this year.
These factors influenced the AP exam schedule included below. As you will see, we will be offering the vast majority of our exams during Administration 2.
Friday, March 12 is the last day to sign-up to take an AP exam. After this date, we are unable to order additional exams. Please use the following link to register for your exam(s): https://user.totalregistration.net/AP/220645. Please complete any order by noon on March 12 so we can place the order correctly by the end of the day.
The official testing schedule for CCHS is available here. (Please note, we are still finalizing the scheduling for the AP Spanish Exam. We are awaiting additional guidelines and we will announce the Spanish exam date by April 1.)
Important to note:
- If any student is not comfortable sitting for a traditional in-person exam in a group setting and that is the format of the test, they will be able to take a digital exam at home during Administration 3 (June 1 - June 10) - if one is available in that particular course.
There are no digital options for World Language exams. These exams must be taken in-person at CCHS.
Students who select to take an exam on the alternate date must notify Ms. Dunne and Mrs. Talpey. (adunne@concordcarlisle.org, mtalpey@concordcarlisle.org)
If a student has two exams scheduled at the exact same time, they will need to take one of them digitally during Administration 3 (June 1 - June 10). Please contact Ms. Dunne and Ms. Talpey to make arrangements if you are in a double-booked situation
If students choose not to take an AP exam, there is no fee to cancel an exam. Please email Ms. Dunne and Mrs. Talpey if a student chooses to cancel their exam.
Digital Exams Information:
Digital exams will begin precisely at the noted start time and students should plan to log in 30 minutes prior.
Digital exams must be taken on a desktop computer, or laptop; they cannot be accessed by phone.
Students will not be allowed to return to answered questions or move back-and-forth between unanswered questions on a digital exam.
Digital exams will not include questions that can be answered with internet searches, textbooks, notes, study guides, or similar material.
A digital practice exam will be available in April.
More technical guidance is expected in early March.
