o CollegeBoard Account Help FAQ pages.collegeboard.org/account-help
o AP CollegeBoard Student Support - call (866) 315-6068 or by email
apstudents@info.collegeboard.org
Step 2 | As Soon as Possible | Practice with Example Questions in the Digital Testing App
apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap-2021/updates/digital-exams/practice
Digital practice gives students the chance to practice with example questions in the same application
they’ll use on exam day and confirm that their technology works as expected.
We strongly recommend that all students taking digital exams complete digital practice.
Step 3 | 1–3 Days Before Exam Day | Complete Exam Setup for Each Digital Exam
For each digital AP Exam they take, students must complete the exam setup step in the digital testing
app. This step loads their exam onto the computer they’re going to test with. Completing this step is
required 1–3 days before each exam. Without taking this step for each exam, students will not be able
to test.
• Exam setup opens 3 calendar days before the exam date and must be completed no later than
the day before the exam.
• Exam setup must be done on the computer the student will use for testing.
• Once setup is completed, the computer can’t be shared with another student until the exam is
over and responses have been submitted to the AP Program.
On Exam Day:
Step 4 | 30 Minutes Before the Exam | Check In to the Exam
On exam day, all students must check in 30 minutes before the official start time of the exam—at
11:30 a.m. EDT for 12 p.m. exams and 3:30 p.m. EDT for 4 p.m. exams—to complete final pre-exam
checks.
• Students can only check in on their testing computer, and can’t check in on multiple devices.
• If students don’t start check-in before the start time of the exam, they won’t be allowed to test
and will have to request a makeup exam.
Once they’ve completed check-in, students will see a timer at the top of their screen counting down
the time remaining until the start time of the exam. The exam will begin automatically.
See the AP Digital Testing Guide for details
Good Luck!

but will still get $95 refunded (for the $105 exam).

The CVUSD high schools and district office staff met to collaborate on a unified schedule. Information regarding the schedule is provided below.
- Most exams will be given in digital format and may be taken at home. Exams must be taken on a Mac, PC, or the school-issued Chromebook. If a student does not have access to one of these types of computers, they can contact the school, and a device will be made available to them. Students who prefer to take the digital exam on campus will be assigned a supervised place to do so.
- Limited exams are only offered via paper/pencil this year. World Languages, Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry exams will be taken on campus using paper/pencil format.
- The paper/pencil exams will be given in the first testing window (May 3rd – 17th), with the exception of Physics, which will be given in the second testing window. Digital exams, referenced above, will be given in the second testing window (May 18th – 28th). The third testing window (June 1st – 11th) is reserved for make-up exams for students with testing conflicts.
A testing calendar was emailed to every student in an AP class. As we get closer to the testing dates, we will provide information that is more detailed. Meanwhile, if you have questions please reach out to Lorene Whitehouse (the College and Career Guidance Specialist) at lwhitehouse@conejousd.org, or Danielle Oliveri (Assistant Principal) at doliveri@conejousd.org

Free & Reduced Lunch Program for AP Fee Waivers
Students who have qualified for the Federal Free & Reduced Lunch Program could be eligible for fee waivers from various College Board for AP exams. Students would pay $5 for exams instead of $105/$153. If you haven’t applied, please use this link, CVUSD Child Nutrition website: https://www.conejousd.org/Departments/Business-Services/Child-Nutrition/Online-Meal-Application
If you applied last year, you must reapply ASAP! (Application is available in English and Spanish.)
**Please take note! While you may not actually take part in the Free Lunch program (pick up a free lunch), but being in the program is usually the only way to qualify for certain fee waiver benefits. (Including AP exam fee reductions). Take the time to review the criteria and apply!
Some colleges use the financial information you provide in your application to apply a fee waiver. Be sure to complete this information accurately and completely. You cannot change the information after you have submitted.
Email or call the college’s admissions office for special consideration. If you or your family have experienced a job loss or other circumstances that make it difficult to pay an application fee, the admissions representative may be able to help you.
