AP Testing with Extended Time

[Anonymous]

AP testing is coming up. DC will ask his counselor to make sure, but wondering what happens with extended time for AP testing. So if test starts at 7:45am, do kids stay at their respective locations longer. Likewise with tests that starts at noon, do they stay longer or do they come earlier?

[Anonymous]

They are probably grouped at a different location than most kids. It would be awfully distracting for those kids with extended time to hear 3/4 of the kids getting up and leaving.

Yes. The kids are in a separate room and the rest runs longer.

Have you received the accommodation from College Board? Your IEP one doesn't count.

If you have unlimited time it will be 1:1.

DC received his paperwork and won't be taking the test until later so have some time to ask the school, but I was thinking through the process.

- Kids have AP testing at 8am. Do they get to stop and have lunch in between if they have extended time?

- Kids have AP test at Noon. Can they catch the 2:30pm bus home if they have extended time?

- Kids who have multiple AP tests in one day. Example, one at 8am, one at Noon and 2pm (this is the case for Physics C), how does extended time work there?

They will use the make up days for the afternoon tests.

Extra time doesn't come with extra breaks. So no lunch break unless you get that as a separate accommodation. The exception is that if the extra time makes the test be more than 6 hours long, it's over two days.

No, an extra time test that begins at noon won't be done by 2:30.

For the multiple tests, I would assume one will be given on the makeup day.

There's no such accommodation as unlimited time.

So the kids would stay afterschool, and is picked up by parents?

I guess? My child takes public transportation home, so I don't know anything about school busses.

No extra breaks. My DD brought lunch with her and ate during the testing period.

So glad this tread opened. DS has dyslexia and gets extra time, which the school coordinated with College Board so we know is approved and all set for later this week. But is it possible to just get the large print tests? He's at a private so no IEP (they have a similar version but it's not called an IEP and does not specifically mention large text because it's a pretty generic document and they have easy access to audio/online books for all classes). Do you think schools are sent some?

So student can eat while taking the test?

My senior has double time, and always had one AP test per day. He also did not eat his snacks, since he was entirely focused on his tests. He has always been placed in a separate room, usually by himself or with one other student, since apparently 100% extra time is a rare accommodation.

Every single accommodation has to be approved by the College Board, otherwise it will not be given.
