Day 35 - AP Exam Prep 

Opener:  Be Ready, Be Confident, Be Specific!

This is the last posting prior to the AP US Government and Politics Exam.  There are no assignments except to prepare for the exam this Monday @ 3:00 pm.

I realize that for many of you this may trigger a certain level of anxiety and excitement.  Just remember that the best solution to this kind of stress is preparation and a sound plan.  Feeling prepared only happens when you prepare.  You can get a great deal done in 5 days.

Activity #1:  Exam Walkthrough

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.
