My daughter's AP US Gov was delayed by more than an hour for computer glitches.

Years ago, my son was forced by a proctor to handwrite an AP US History exam because he didn't know how to proceed with his typing accommodation.

Stuff happens and students should steel themselves for problems.

Kid isn't taking this today, but this has been a horrible year for irregularities. He had two other exams impacted. One offered a retake, we're waiting to hear on the other.

Isn't it happening right now? How could you possible know about it? Was there a security breach in your kid's class?

The college board is awful. My kid was also impacted with the SAT debacle in March.

Anyone know if morning exams in later timezones (physics 1, west coast) were affected? It sounds like bluebook just wasn't allowing logins for psych?

My kids' school has an issue with the AP French exam. The CD's that were supposed to play the audio portion questions were not playing, so the entire class was moved to another location to try it again. They eventually managed to get everything working, but it was a 6 hour day. Then, they were told that AP would be canceling their scores and they would need to retake the exam on a retake day.

Apparently, US east coast could not login to bluebook for the afternoon AP Psych exam.

Isn't it amazing that so many people want their tests to dominate admissions when they have constant issues?

And their CEO makes $2.5 million a year.

Agree but it’s equally frustrating to rely on gpa when schools are so different in rigor, allowing exams to be retaken, extra credit. Ours allowed none of that and A’s are hard earned. Wish a better way on all fronts.

Mine told me a kid had a phone out and two kids in back cheating. Pathetic schools don’t get competent proctors. Cheering is so rampant and it’s sickening.
