Hi once again all (BEAUTFULLLLLLL PEEEEEOPLE)---I just know that
you are loving getting all of these emails and attachments daily 😊!
For practice on Chapter 10 (after you review all of the 10.1/10.2
notes that I gave you yesterday on this Chapter) students can do AP Stats
College Board Progress Checks 6D (10.1) and 7C (10.2). Then you can check
you work when the correct responses are revealed when you are done, as always.
**Just as a reminder, all College Board Progress Checks for
Chapters 1-10 (CB reference: Units 1-8) remain open indefinitely for you review
and/or practice.

New Information About 2020 AP Exams
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dear Colleague,
This email provides key information about the 2020 AP® Exams.
We recently sent you an email about our commitment to provide free,
remote learning resources and a new at-home testing option for this
year's AP Exams. As promised, additional details are now available,
and we'll continue to provide updates in the weeks leading up to the
exams.
A great resource for learning about this year's AP Exams is Trevor Packer's
presentation.
|
Exam Dates
|
Most AP teachers and students we surveyed prefer to test
earlier, while the content is still fresh.
|
•
|
Exams will be given from May 11–22.
|
•
|
Makeup test dates will be available for each subject
from June 1–5.
|
•
|
Students can take exams at home or in schools, if they
reopen.
|
•
|
Each subject's exam will be taken on the same day at
the same time, worldwide.
|
•
|
|
|
We encourage you to
remind your students about exam dates for their courses.
|
Exam Format
|
Most exams will have one or two free-response questions,
and each question will be timed separately. Students will need to write
and submit their responses within the allotted time for each
question.
|
•
|
Students will be able to take exams on any device they
have access to—computer, tablet, or smartphone. They'll be able to
type and upload their responses or write responses by hand and
submit a photo via their cell phones.
|
•
|
For most subjects, the exams will be 45 minutes long,
plus an additional 5 minutes for uploading. Students will need to
access the online testing system 30 minutes early to get set up.
|
•
|
Certain courses—Art and Design: 2D; Art and Design:
3D; Computer Science Principles; Drawing; Research; and
Seminar—will use portfolio submissions and will not have a separate
online exam. All deadlines for these submissions have been extended
to May 26, 2020, 11:59 p.m. ET. Teachers and students may receive
separate course-specific communications.
|
•
|
Students taking world language and culture exams will
complete two spoken tasks consistent with free-response questions 3
and 4 on the current AP Exam. Written responses will not be
required. We'll provide additional details in the coming weeks to
help students prepare.
|
|
|
|
Confronting
the Digital Divide
|
We recognize that the digital divide could prevent some
low-income and rural students from participating. Working with
partners, we're investing so these students have the tools and
connectivity they need to review AP content online and take the exam.
If your students need mobile tools or connectivity, you can contact us directly to
let us know by April 24.
|
Exam Scores
and College Credit
|
As usual, students' work will be scored by our network
of college faculty and AP teachers, and will be reported on a 1–5
scale. We anticipate releasing scores as close to the usual July
timeframe as possible.
We're confident that the vast majority of higher ed institutions will
award college credit as they have in the past. We've spoken with
hundreds of institutions across the country that support our solution
for this year's AP Exams.
|
Special
Benefit for Teachers
|
To help support teachers and schools that are struggling
to collect and score student work for course grades, we'll provide
every AP teacher with their students' responses from the online exams
by May 26. Administrators and teachers can individually determine
whether they'd like to use these results locally as part of a course
grade or as a final exam.
|
Exam Security
|
Like many college-level exams, this year's AP Exams will
be open book/open note. The exam format and questions are being
designed specifically for an at-home administration, so points will
not be earned from content that can be found in textbooks or online.
However, students taking the exams may not consult with any other
individuals during the testing period. We'll take the necessary steps
to protect the integrity of each exam administration, as we do every
year.
We're confident that the vast majority of AP students will follow the
rules for taking the exams. For the small number of students who may
try to gain an unfair advantage, we have a comprehensive and strict
set of protocols in place to prevent and detect cheating. While some
of these practices are confidential to maximize their effectiveness,
students and education professionals can learn more about our security measures.
At a minimum, test takers should understand that those attempting to
gain an unfair advantage will either be blocked from testing or their
AP scores will be canceled, and their high school will be notified as
will colleges or other organizations to which the student has already
sent any College Board scores (including SAT® scores). And they may
be prohibited from taking a future Advanced Placement® Exam as well
as the SAT, SAT Subject Tests™, or CLEP® assessments.
|
Remote
Instruction and Practice
|
On March 25, we began offering free live AP review courses,
delivered by AP teachers from across the country. The courses have
been viewed more than 3.2 million times since they became available. On-demand lessons
are now available for Art and Design, AP Capstone™, and Computer
Science Principles.
In addition to sharing information about these classes with students,
teachers who are providing remote instruction can use AP Classroom
for most subjects. We've now unlocked secure free-response questions
in AP Classroom so teachers can digitally assign relevant practice
questions students can take at home. Additional tips
for helping your students practice are available.
|
Professional
Development Opportunities
|
We'll be providing webinars, videos, and other resources
to help AP teachers and coordinators leading up to exam day.
|
•
|
Coordinators can register for
live training on April 10 to learn more about exams.
|
|
Additional
Information
|
We've added frequently asked questions to the site so
you can find answers to important topics, including information for
students with accommodations, details about exam fees and
cancellations, credit and placement, calculator policies, and more.
We'll continue to make updates on the site and
share them with you through email, online educator communities, and
social media.
Your support is critical to ensuring students have the opportunity to
earn college credit and placement. Thank you for all you’re doing
during this unprecedented time.
Sincerely,
Advanced Placement Program

Note: There may be some differences for world languages
and courses that require portfolio submissions. Check our website
