AP® Week – Dos and Don’ts
With AP week just around the corner, students, teachers, and parents are gearing up for the exams they’ve been preparing for since the start of the school year last fall. By this point, they’ve worked hard, harder than they’ve had to for most high school classes, to gain a mastery of the content and skills necessary to pass the AP exam with a qualifying score of three or higher. Most of the prep is now in the past, and it’s time to put all that work to the test. Literally. But there are still preparations that can be made by all to ensure that the exam goes well and gives every student the chance to show off what they’ve learned and be proud of their work. So we reached out to our Advanced Placement Content Directors, experts in their subject areas and former AP graders, to ask for their Dos and Don’ts for AP week. Here’s what they had to say:
Students
