AP Testing

• Several sharpened No. 2 pencils (with erasers) for all responses on your multiple-choice answer sheet (do not bring mechanical pencils).
• Pens with black or dark-blue ink for completing areas on the exam booklet covers and for free-response questions in most exams.
• Your student body ID lanyard.
• A watch (optional) that does not have internet access, does not beep or make noise, and does not have an alarm. Leave your smart watch at home, please.
• An approved calculator (bring backup batteries in case!) with the necessary capabilities only if you are taking a Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, or Statistics Exam. For a list of approved graphing calculators, visit www.collegeboard.org/ap/calculators.
• A ruler or straightedge only if you are taking an AP Physics Exam.
• A light snack (accessible during the break only)
• A closable water bottle. 
• Dress in layers for the exam. Some of the testing locations may be colder or warmer than you’d like, and you’ll be sitting there for several hours.

Get a good night’s rest and eat a healthy breakfast before your exam!

• Electronic equipment: (cell phone, smart phone, laptop, tablet computer, etc.), portable listening or recording devices (MP3 player, iPod, etc.), cameras or other photographic equipment, smart watches, wi-fi enabled devices, devices that can access the Internet, and any other electronic or communication devices
• Unapproved aids: Books, compasses, protractors, mechanical pencils, correction fluid, dictionaries, highlighters, notes, or colored pencils, reference guides, keyboard maps or other typing instructions, and clothing with subject-related information.
• Scratch paper
• Watches that beep or have an alarm, or smartwatches.
• Ear plugs
• Backpacks create clutter. When possible, please carry what you need to the exam and leave your backpack in your car or locker.

Students are allowed to go to the restroom one at a time (regardless of gender) throughout the exam and including the break during the exam. Students must otherwise stay in the room. You may go during the exam, but the timing of the test will continue and you will not be able to make-up any missed time. Students will still only be able to use the restroom one at a time during the break, so therefore, please plan to go before the exam begins.

Students with documented special accommodations through the College Board (extended time, etc.) will take their exams in a different location but will keep the same date and time. These students will receive an email with their schedule and location(s).

If you have any questions please contact Chris McLean, AP Coordinator.
