5/7: Exam Information & Last Review!

Information:

1) This post is the last post before the AP Exam. Remember, it is only if you want to take exam. I will be working on updating grades very soon so you can actually see your updated letter grade in class.

2) Below is what I posted on Tuesday about taking the exam, please don't wait until an hour before the exam to begin review on how to log in.. take time now, so you won't have to later.

3) Just letting everyone know, if you signed up for AP Comparative Government, I will not be teaching AP Comparative Government next year. I will be teaching College Government / College US History (New*) / American Cit. Sorry..

4) AP Test Info for next Monday, May 11th 3:00 pm. We are less than a week away from the AP Test.

5) Please watch the video - AP 2020 Exam - It will cover everything coming up about how to take the exam. I will also post some more information on Thursday about taking the exam.

6) Many of you have asked about your grades.. This is what I am going to do. After this week, I am not going to assign any more assignments. Instead, we will have time to work on anything "missing". Next week, I will provide more details about when is the last day I will be grading items, and when I will have your final grade in the grade book.

7) Seniors taking College Gov, I will have your grade done first. If you are missing anything, please turn it in ASAP so I can finalize your grades by Monday.

8) Getting ready for exam day 

Activity # 1:


Students will receive their AP Exam ticket in their email 2 days prior to their test. It will look similar to the one below. It will have your AP ID on it and you will click on the yellow bar to get to your exam. Please make sure you get into your exam 30 min before your scheduled time. This will only be good for the May exam dates. If you have not been getting emails from College Board about your test, please login to myap.collegeboard.org and update your email address. 



There will be 3 different ways to submit your test.

  1. Type your responses in a different document then copy and paste it into the exam browser. You will not be able to type directly into the browser.
  2. Save a document and attach it. If your test has 2 questions you will need to attach 2 different documents.
  3. Hand write your response in pencil or pen on white lines paper and upload of photo of your writing.

For all 3 options your AP ID and your initials will need to be at the top of every page.

You don’t need the complete the test, but you do need to submit before time runs out. There will be a timer going and you will receive a 5 minute warning to start uploading your response if you haven’t already.

If you qualify for extended time, that time will automatically be added on to your timer.

Please reach out to Molly Smith at molly.smith@nkcschools.org or your Mr. DeRose with further questions.
