AP Exam Update from the CollegeBoard!!!

Here's what students need to know and do...

A CollegeBoard update concerning AP exams came out last Friday. CollegeBoard sent their update directly to students through the email the student listed in their MyAP account.

You will be able to complete your AP journey this year by taking your AP Exam online on any device you have access to—computer, tablet, or smartphone. You’ll also have the option to write your responses by hand and submit a photo. 

MCHS Students can connect to wi-fi in any of our school parking lots.  If you need a device you may check out a device at the high school.  Please let Mrs. Burnham know of any device or tech issues as soon as possible.

Updates for AP Students can be found at this link:
  • See the details on exam dates and times, what’s covered and what’s not, the types of questions that may be asked, how those questions will be weighted and more.
  • Get more information about exam features, the timing and expected tasks, and what to expect on exam day and beyond.
  • This link will also provide you online AP classes and review session.


CollegeBoard will release an at home testing guide, video and simulation in late April to get prepared for this type of testing format!  I think this is very exciting and there’s no better time to take an AP exam!

For now we know the above information and that every student registered for an AP exam will receive a credential to access an exam through their myAP account or the email they listed in their myAP account.  We also know that every student approved for accommodations will receive them in this format.  These exam scores will be recognized by colleges. 

We look forward to the next CollegeBoard update.  Meanwhile let Mrs. Burnham know what questions you have.  You can email her at Jennifer.burnham@marshall.kyschools.us or call her office cell phone during normal school hours (270-205-0632).
