COVID-19 continues to cause school closures throughout the US and abroad.

College Board Announces Online AP Exams for Students Impacted by COVID-19 School Closures Published May 15, 2020, 5:35 p.m.

On Friday, March 20, the College Board officially announced their plan for accommodating students and schools that have suffered the loss of classroom instruction time due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The College Board is providing schools with new online resources to help educators successfully host online classes. Additionally, the College Board is providing students with the ability to take online assessments as an alternative to traditional AP tests.

Flexible testing dates will be offered to accommodate students who would like to take exams more closely coordinated with recent classroom instruction. The exam schedule for online testing is not yet released and will be released by April 3rd, 2020. The College Board will be unlocking additional free response practice resources so students can practice testing in a realistic setting.



2020 AP Exam Scope Reduction

In addition to providing alternative testing options for students, the College Board is reducing the scope of what is tested on the exams. This will make a more level playing field for students who have had instruction halted or significantly changed as a result of the ever-changing COVID-19 situation.

EarlyScores Commitment to AP Students

EarlyScores will continue to monitor the AP testing situation closely over the coming weeks and months. EarlyScore’s promise to AP Students is to continue making tools that help students navigate the high school testing landscape as it evolves in these unprecedented times.
