has stepped up: you no longer need to decide between prioritizing your health and taking the exam. all spring 2020 tests will now be at-home ap exams administered online.<\/p>\n<p>how do these tests work? what do at-home ap exams mean for you? in this post, we&#8217;ll break it down.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p><iframe title=\"5 tips for taking the 2020 at-home ap exams online!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0uueyssjuxg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>about the ap exam<\/h2>\n<p>there are a few key differences that you&#8217;ll need to keep in mind when taking your ap test online. first of all, forget multiple choice; ap students will instead take a <strong>45-minute free-response exam<\/strong>. but if that stresses you out, there&#8217;s good news; <strong>this year&#8217;s ap exams will be open book and open note<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>will the exams be fair?<\/h3>\n<p>if you&#8217;re worried about fairness, you&#8217;re not alone\u2014and the ap college board people are on it! they realize that some ap students have lost more classroom time than others because of differences between school curriculums. to address this, <strong>they&#8217;ve decided only to include content from your classes that most teachers will have covered before early march<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>the college board is also offering flexibility regarding devices for the at-home ap exam: <strong>you can take it on any device you have access to, including computers, tablets, and smartphones<\/strong>. in terms of responses, you can either type and upload your answers, or you can write them by hand and send a photo from your phone&mdash;whatever works best for you.<\/p>\n<p>however, cb also realizes that some students may not have access to a device or reliable internet. if that&#8217;s the case, they&#8217;ll work with you to find a solution&mdash;but be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/collegeboard.tfaforms.net\/74\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact cb asap<\/a>. if you&#8217;re not able to access the form, you can also call their ap customer service line at 888-225-5427 or email them at <a href=\"mailto:apstudents@info.collegeboard.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">apstudents@info.collegeboard.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>the college board will ensure tests are secure with digital security tools, including software to detect plagiarism.<\/p>\n<h3>will colleges accept my at-home ap exam scores?<\/h3>\n<p>so far, the college board has reported widespread support from colleges, who want to make sure you get the ap credit you&#8217;ve earned by accepting your ap test scores. colleges have accepted college board ap scores from shortened exams for literally decades, so they&#8217;re used to working with students who have found themselves in emergency situations.<\/p>\n<h2>exam timing<\/h2>\n<p>you can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/apcoronavirusupdates.collegeboard.org\/educators\/taking-the-exams\/ap-exam-schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ap exam schedule 2020 on the college board website<\/a>. they&#8217;ve also posted makeup exam dates, so they have you covered just in case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>every ap test at home will happen at the same time\u2014no matter where you are in the world.<\/strong> this means that if you&#8217;re in new york, you&#8217;ll sit down for the exam at 2pm your time, while at the exact same moment, a student in honolulu will be taking the test at 8am their time. <\/p>\n<p>it&#8217;s a good idea to prepare for these adjusted times by taking practice tests at the same time of day you&#8217;ll be taking the actual at-home ap exam. that way, you&#8217;ll be ready for any potential issues (tiredness, hunger) and know how to address them well in advance.<\/p>\n<h2>how to prepare for at-home ap testing<\/h2>\n<p>the college board will put out more info on the at-home ap testing system online as they continue to develop it; expect details in late april. <\/p>\n<p>in the meantime, as of march 25, you can get <strong>free ap review live from the test-maker<\/strong>! first, take a look at their <a href=\"https:\/\/apcentral.collegeboard.org\/pdf\/ap-class-schedule-daily.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">daily schedule for 32 courses<\/a>. then, go over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/advancedplacement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ap youtube channel<\/a> to watch the review session. <\/p>\n<p>finally, don&#8217;t forget that magoosh has <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/ap-prep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tons of ap resources<\/a> to help you brush up on topics for test day!<\/p>\n<h2>a final word<\/h2>\n<p>learning a new method of test-taking with at-home ap exams may add an additional layer to your <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/ap\/making-ap-exam-study-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">test prep plan<\/a>. however, there are real benefits to learning the new format&#8211;particularly if you&#8217;re a junior and may take a <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/sat\/is-sat-cancelled-digital-tests-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">digital sat<\/a> later this year. by following college board updates, prepping with official materials (including their review live streams!), and practicing early and often, you&#8217;ll maximize your chances of getting the score\u2014and college credits\u2014you want on test day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>editor&#8217;s note: this post has been last
