IMPORTANT ADVANCED PLACEMENT TESTING INFORMATION

The 2013 BWHS Advanced Placement exam schedule is listed below:

Please note the following:

• If you have an SOL and an AP exam scheduled for the same time, go to the AP exam!  You will make-up the SOL.
• Students will report to the cafeteria for all exams unless directed otherwise.
• Students who arrive late will not be admitted for testing.
• Students taking morning AP exams will miss their block 1 and 2 classes for that day.  Students taking afternoon exams will miss their block 3 and 4 classes for that day.  Students will be given adequate time to make-up any missed school work.
• Morning exams begin at 8:00am.  Students must obtain their own morning transportation to Briar Woods.  Morning exams will end by lunch.  We will not wait for late students.  Students taking morning AP exams will follow their regular schedule for blocks 3 and 4.
• Afternoon exams begin at 12:30pm.  Students taking afternoon exams will be dismissed from class to the cafeteria at 11:45am for an early lunch.  We will not wait for late students.
• Students who are taking afternoon exams may sign-up to be served an early school lunch.   However, bringing a bag lunch to eat before an afternoon exam may help ease student anxiety as there will be one less thing to worry about.  You must see or email Mr. Royhab by April 26, 2013 if you are taking an afternoon exam and want an early school lunch provided.
• Afternoon exams will not end by school dismissal time (3:48pm).  Afternoon tests should end by 4:30pm.  However, testing times can vary.  Students should arrange afternoon transportation.  It is important that students who are taking afternoon exams communicate this to their coaches and/or employers.
• Students must remain in the testing room until the test is over.  They may not leave early even if they finish early.
• Students who miss an AP exam may not have the opportunity to make up the exam.  The Advanced Placement late testing policy is very specific, and very few reasons for missing an exam will qualify for late testing.  Please contact Mr. Royhab immediately, if you miss an exam.  If you, or a parent, do not contact Mr. Royhab by the end of the day you miss an exam, it will be assumed that your reason for missing the exam is not valid and a make-up exam will not be ordered.
• Bring at least two #2 pencils (with erasers) and 2 black or blue ballpoint pens.
• Bring a watch in case your room does not have a clock that you can easily see (the watch must not beep or an alarm)
• Math and science teachers will review the AP calculator policy with math and science students.
• Do not bring a cell phone, camera, PDA, Blackberry, smartphone, MP3 player, laptop, iPod-type device, or any other electronic, listening, recording or communication device to your exam.  If you have any of these devices your test will be disqualified.

The 2013 AP Exams will be administered over two weeks in May: May 6 through 10 and May 13 through 17. Early testing or testing at times other than those published by the College Board is not permitted under any circumstances. Make-up testing is permitted for verified emergencies only.
