[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The only place you can take an AP exam is at a high school[/b]. It is not like the SAT.

For example if a home schooled student wants to take an AP exam they have to call around to high schools to find one that will let him join their tusents for test day. [/quote]

Incorrect. I dropped my son off at UDC last spring to take his AP exam. There were well over a hundred kids waiting outside. This is where Wilson was administering it. [/quote]

[b]Even when they go to a larger space, DCPS staff is proctoring the exam for DCPS kids[/b] — not UDC — and is responsible for test security, etc.

At least there are multiple proctors for hundred of students.
What about SAT and AP exams being given in HRCS for a dozen or so students and being administered by their own teacher? Some AP exams are being given on make-up days instead of the actual date, but parents aren't saying anything because they know it's for their student's benefit.
The SAT and AP exams have to be administered and handled by proctors who do not teach those students.

If you’re going to allege something, call the College Board to report it or at least start a new thread.

The College Board allows makeups for APs because some students take two exams that are scheduled for the same time period. The makeup exams have different questions. The other reason why some get makeups is because a student has College Board-issued accommodations that won’t allow them to be complete the tests on the standard schedule.  This is all explained on the College Board website.

My kids go to a charter and have never had an AP exam proctored by their AP class teacher. The school also doesn’t allow students to take PARCC or SATs with any teacher they usually have.

If that sort or protocol isn’t happening at your kid’s school — call the College Board. They’d be pleased to take your report and investigate it. [/quote]
