Testing Time: Each Advanced Placement exam is a minimum of 3 hours. Exams will begin approximately at the time indicated. If you arrive after the start time, you WILL NOT be able to take the exam and will not be refunded your money, so please plan your transportation in advance; AM and PM testers should arrange for transportation other than the bus on their exam day.
Make-Up Testing: There is NO make-up testing offered! If you fail to take an AP Exam that you have been registered for due to absence or lateness, you WILL receive an obligation for the $40 cancellation fee per exam. Money paid will not be refunded. If you have an emergency or illness on the day of an AP exam, please contact Mrs. Snow as soon as possible at faith.majors@pgcps.org and naima.reed@pgcps.org.
YOU CANNOT BE DISMISSED FROM A TESTING ROOM EARLY! If you play a sport or have a job, it is your responsibility to inform your coach or employer of your AP Exam obligation, and arrangements should be made accordingly. All test takers must be dismissed from the testing room at the same time. No one may leave early.
Digital and Hybrid test takers must bring a fully charged Chromebook and charging cord.
Get a good night’s rest before your exam, and eat a nutritious breakfast and/or lunch. Food and drink are prohibited in the exam room. It is advisable to bring a sweater, in case the room temperature is below your comfort level.
You are required to abide by the policies of both the College Board and DuVal High School during the exam period. Any misconduct will be reported and could jeopardize your AP Exam score.
Be sure to review the 2024-2025 Bulletin for AP Students and Parents. If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact faith.majors@pgcps.org and naima.reed@pgcps.org.
Best of luck as you enter the home stretch of your AP classes and prepare for your exams!
As part of the new process, for the 2024-2025 school year, all students must register at the following website: https://myap.collegeboard.org and join each AP class they are taking using a join code that will be provided by their teacher. This process will be conducted with the assistance of the AP teachers. All students must join the class via this website to have access to the new resources and to register for the AP Exams.
PGCPS will continue to support and encourage students to take AP classes and the AP Exams.
To support students in taking AP Exams, the district will pay for the exams for ALL students who commit to taking the exam.
The College Board implemented key changes to the Advanced Placement Program a few years ago that included new resources for teachers and students to support student success in the AP courses. The most significant change is related to when students will have to commit to taking the AP Exam. This year, students will have to commit to taking their AP Exams no later than Friday, October 25, 2024. This deadline has been set to provide AP Coordinators time to finalize exam orders and meet the order deadline. These changes will also impact our AP Exam Fee Policy.
Students who take an AP course should be aware of several important pieces of information as outlined below:
Please contact DuVal AP Coordinator, Faith Snow at faith.majors@pgcps.org, if you have any questions about AP Exam orders or payment.
You will NOT get your application back and DO NOT need to see a Counselor! Teachers are to return paperwork to Ms. Reed.
An AP Coordinator will give information to the Guidance Counselor for School Year 2025-2026
