If your student has registered to take one or more AP exams this year, you may have received information from AP re the various testing options offered this year and may have questions about how that impacts this year’s exam administration. This email is to clarify the 2021 AP Exam Administration process for CPS high schools. Taking into consideration the school calendar along with limitations in testing locations and available proctors, we are able to offer AP exams as follows:

 

• All In-Seat students will take the In-Seat Paper and Pencil exam during Administration 1: May 3rd-7th, or 10th-17^th depending on the test.)

 

• All Virtual students will take the At-Home Digital exam during Administration 2: (May 18th-21st, 24th-28th). All Digital exams will take place simultaneously world-wide. CPS students will test at either 11:00 AM or 3:00 PM (test dates/times determined by AP), and will need to make sure their computer has the appropriate AP testing program installed.

 

• Students taking CPS Online AP classes will take the test according to their current Learning Mode (In-Seat or Virtual)
• Students with special circumstances (i.e. a known conflict during their currently scheduled administration, health/safety concerns, etc.) that will not allow them to test according to their learning mode (in-seat or virtual) can email Mrs. Patterson, the AP Test Coordinator, at mpatterson@cpsk12.org to discuss late testing options/registration.

 

• World Language Exams are only offered In-Seat (AP is not offering an At-Home Digital option for World Language exams), so all AP World Language Exams will be offered in-school during Administration 1
