Get Ready for AP Exams

Hi, Michael,

Here's important information to help guide you through the AP® Exam day
experience.

New Resources
• AP Exam Day Checklist: Complete this checklist (.pdf/513.39 KB) for
each AP Exam you'll be taking this year, and keep it next to you on test
day.

• Explainer Videos: New videos are available to give you quick, easily
accessible information about the test day experience and what you need
to do to prepare. Additional videos will be posted to this playlist soon.

The Basics

The Prep

The Experience
• AP Exam Demo: On May 4, you'll be able to practice submissions
through the exam demo, which will give you click-through practice for
the different ways to submit your responses to this year's AP Exams.

◦ We encourage all students to take this important preparation step.

◦ This will help you avoid technical difficulties on the day of the exam.

◦ The demo will be generic across subjects, and not a practice exam. See
below for info on a specific video and demo for world languages exams.

• AP Prep Week: Next week, the online AP Classes and Review

Sessions will focus on the exam day experience and sample exam
questions.

• Two Days Before Exams: You'll receive an email with your exam e-
ticket 48 hours before your exam. Be sure to check what time your exam
will start in your time zone.

• Portfolio Submissions Due: AP Computer Science Principles,

Seminar, Research, and Art and Design submissions are due by May
26, 11:59 p.m. ET.

Information for AP World Languages Exams

• A video specifically about the test-taking experience for AP Chinese,
French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish Language and Culture
exams will be available the week of May 4.

• The world languages exams will be administered using a new dedicated

app—the AP World Languages Exam App (WLEA). Students taking
these exams must use this app on smartphones or tablets, not on
laptops or desktop computers. This free app will be available for
download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store the week of
May 11. We'll email students and their teachers to let them know when
the app is available to download. Visit our site for more details.

• Accommodations details for the above exams are also available now.

• If you're unsure whether you can access the app, or if you don't have a
device, you can fill out this survey as soon as possible so we can help
 support you (applicable to U.S./U.S. territories).

Information for AP Music Theory Exams

• Before exam day, students will need to print or hand-copy the 2020
Music Theory Answer Sheet and have access to an audio recording app
or software. Please see more information on the website.

Sincerely,

Advanced Placement Program
