We know the coronavirus has created challenges for AP students. Here’s how the College Board will support you during this time:
1️⃣ We’re providing free, live and on-demand AP courses
2️⃣ We’re developing a new at-home testing option
The full course schedule for the free, live online AP classes is now available, along with information about what will be covered this week.
Links to upcoming classes are here: . More will be posted shortly.
Lessons begin tomorrow, March 25.
The AP Program is developing resources to help schools support student learning during closures, as well as a solution that would allow students to take AP Exams at home, depending on the situation in May. We'll communicate the details by March 20. More: .
While more than 99% of students successfully submitted their AP Exam responses today, some who didn't told us they had trouble cutting and pasting their responses. We took a closer look and found that outdated browsers were a primary cause of these challenges.
Important AP Exam note: If you're planning to submit a PDF of your handwritten work, remember that PDFs are TEXT FILES, not PHOTOS. Make sure to select the "Attach Text File" option to locate, attach, and submit your saved PDF.
By taking AP, you aren't just distinguishing yourself in high school and in your college applications. You're also building the skills that will help you succeed in college.
In response to COVID-19, we're developing AP Exams for this year that students can take from home.

🔹 Given May 11-22 and June 1-5
🔹 45 minutes long
