Latest Update from the CollegeBoard Regarding AP Exams

The newest information was emailed to students on 4/14/20 is at the beginning of this post using the email address listed in their MyAP account.  

This is very exciting and there’s no better time to take an AP exam!

1. AP Examinees will receive emails from CollegeBoard in the account that they selected to use to create their MyAP CollegeBoard account with.  This is the email address that CollegeBoard will send exam information to in May.  On April 14, Mrs. Burnham did a system check and found students who had undeliverable email addresses in the MyAP system. If your address was undeliverable, she has contacted you.
2. CollegeBoard will send an At Home Testing Guide and FAQ late April.
3. AP Examinees will need to go into their MyAP account and select a college to receive their score.  You get to send to one college for free.  Please do this within the next week.
4. CollegeBoard is recommending that AP Examinees access the online system 30 minutes before their exam – there will be more information to come regarding this.
5. If you are in AP Computer Science Principles you will not have an exam but your portfolio is due May 26.

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

This year's AP Exams will include the following:

• Available for students to take at home.
• Delivered to students online, and, in most cases, can be taken with a smartphone, laptop, desktop, tablet, or Chromebook.
• Include only free-response questions.
• Approximately 45 minutes long.
• Open book/open notes, but will not permit consultation with other students or teachers during the test.
• Held May 11-22 at specified times, with a makeup option available for each exam June 1-5.
• Only include topics and skills most AP students had already covered by early March (if you were in a spring course).
• Give students the opportunity to earn college credit if they receive a qualifying score.
• Have the support of college admissions officers who review applications, and college faculty who decide whether college credit is awarded.

*Please note that this description does not pertain to AP Computer Science Principles as that course does not have online at-home exams this year. CSP students will have a portfolio submission deadline of May 26.
