Here is some information that College Board posted on their web site on Friday, March 13. Keep in mind that we do not know exactly how the closing of Leland will impact the rest of the year, so we cannot be certain which scenario that the College Board has listed will apply to us. We will need to wait and see how our situation develops, but at least we can see that there are some options that could be available to us. I am planning to put up another post soon on possible review activities that can may want to do. Also, I would not suggest contacting the College Board or the Leland Administration yet as we do not know the exact details of when we will resume classroom learning again. Thanks and stay healthy, Mr. Kerwin
The AP Exam administration remains as scheduled for schools that will be open on May 4–8 and 11–15, with late testing scheduled for May 20–22.
Testing Support
Current school and district plans indicate that many schools will remain in session and administer AP Exams in May. We understand that this situation is evolving daily, however. If a school is already closed or needs to close in March or April, AP makeup testing dates will be available. Which dates best serve a school will depend on how much instructional time is lost:
- If a school is able to make up most of the lost instruction time, we recommend testing on the regularly scheduled exam dates.
- If a school needs to make up some instructional time, they may update students’ exam orders to late testing scheduled for the third week of May. Selecting “school closing: election, national holiday, or natural disaster” ensures that the late-testing fee will not be applied.
- Testing in the fourth week of May is possible, if needed, but must be requested through AP Services for Educators.
- Schools closed for extended periods of time that need even later options (i.e., June retest dates) can contact AP Services for Educators beginning in April to make such arrangements.
If a school has lost instructional days for AP 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, Computer Science Principles, Drawing, Research, or Seminar courses and would like to request extensions for portfolio submission deadlines, please contact AP Services for Educators beginning March 16.
