Look into how the College Board assigns scores for AP test results.

Who cares... seriously why do you care?

The point is that other people's results on the AP test affect your score.

Good luck all.

Are cameras required for students?

We have the camera covered on our computers.

AP specifically said there will be no cameras. The rationale for the very short (45 min) test is that students won't have time to cheat. I don't really buy it (it doesn't take long for another kid to text their general answer to friends) but I guess the idea is that kids will be under such time constraint that they won't sacrifice their own score to take time to help others.

Open links are fine. It is open book and they can use the internet. The questions are designed to not be answered with google searches though. It will test more on skills than content. I teach science and expect students to have to describe and analyze data from a made up scenario. Can't search that.

Here is a link from College Board about how the process to actually take the test will work. You and your child should definitely watch this:

No they don't. AP don't curve against other test takers. They norm against previous tests.
