2012 AP Exams Testing Information
You are responsible for getting to your exam at the appointed time, so please check the schedule carefully and leave enough time to get to either the North Star Church or KMHS (Computer Science and Spanish Language) Go to the AP Blog http://kmhs.typepad.com/ap/ for full details about test dates, times, and location. If you have a morning exam, you are to report directly to the testing site, and you will sign in with PPO when you return to campus. If you have an afternoon exam, you may leave your second block class at 10:45 and sign out with PPO so that you have time to eat lunch before your exam. Please note that the KMHS café will not be open at this hour, so you need to either bring a sack lunch or stop at a nearby “fast” eatery.
After the exam has begun, students will not be admitted, so make sure you arrive at either 7:30 AM or 11:30 AM. Students may not leave exams until the end of the allotted testing time, so don’t make plans for work or anything else. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISMISS EARLY.
