Prep Tips:
Review Key Concepts: Focus on the main topics from the course. Make sure you understand core concepts, formulas, and important facts. Review any practice exams, notes, and past quizzes.
Take Practice Tests: If you haven’t already, do a couple of timed practice tests. This will help you get comfortable with the format and the time constraints.
Stay Healthy: In the days leading up to the test, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy meals, and stay hydrated. Avoid cramming the night before—trust the work you've already done!
Relax & Stay Positive: It's normal to feel nervous, but remember: you’re ready. Take a few deep breaths, stay calm, and do your best.
Test Day Details:
Where to Report: Please refer to the email from Mr. Grasso about which classroom/space we will use for the exam. Most AP exams will take place in the gym, conference room, or A Collab.
Time: Be sure to arrive a few minutes before the test starts. This will give you time to settle in, complete any necessary check-in procedures, and relax before the test begins.
Morning Exam: Report to your testing room at the start of school - 7:35 am.
Afternoon Exam: Check-in starts at 12 noon; you should go to first lunch and then come to the testing room at noon
What to Bring:
Charged Chromebook (with charger) - this is really important!
Two #2 pencils (with erasers).
Blue or black ink pens for sections requiring written responses (no gel pens).
Your own water and snacks (for breaks—no sharing!).
What NOT to Bring:
Cell phones, smartwatches, or any electronic devices: These must be turned off and left in your bag outside the testing room.
Books, notes, or any other materials that are not allowed by College Board.
Personal items: Leave your backpack, purse, and other bags in the designated area outside the test room. Only bring the essentials inside.
Final Thoughts:
You’ve been preparing for this moment, and now it’s your time to shine! Don’t stress about perfection—just focus on doing your best, and remember, this test is a step toward reaching your goals. Take it one question at a time, and don’t let any difficult parts throw you off.
We believe in you, and we know you’ve got this. You’ve already proven you can handle the hard work; now it’s time to finish strong!
