Prince William County Public Schools

The College Board determines the schedule and availability of all Advanced Placement (AP) testing worldwide. For the 2020-21 school year, as a result of COVID-19 impacts on schools, the College Board has created three testing windows and formats.

• Administration 1 - May 3-7, 10-12, 14, 17: These tests are given in a traditional pencil/paper format and must be in-person at school.
• Administration 2 - May 18-21, 24-28: Half of these tests are given digitally, the other half are given in-person in a traditional pencil/paper format.
• Administration 3 - June 1-4, 7-11: With the exception of the World Language exams and Music Theory, all of these exams are given digitally.

In order to allow additional time for instruction and to accommodate help sessions for students, PWCS will offer AP testing during the College Board's Administrations 2 and 3. Teachers and schools have mapped out additional help sessions prepared on the timetable of test Administration 2 and 3.

In the Test Administration 2, about half of the subjects will be administered in-person in a paper-pencil format. These courses are:

• All world languages;
• Music theory;
• Calculus AB;
• Calculus BC;
• Physics 1: algebra-based;
• Physics 2: algebra-based;
• Physics C: mechanics;
• Physics C: electricity and magnetism;
• Chemistry; and
• Statistics.

All other courses will be administered digitally at home.

Test Administration 3 is all digital, which allows any student who is not comfortable coming into school to take a paper-pencil test to take that exam digitally at home.

Schools are prepared to work with students on a case-by-case basis if there are circumstances in which a student cannot test on the assigned date with the assigned testing format. Any student unable to test on your scheduled day, please look at the following alternative schedule options: Administration 1 or Administration 3 and work with your school's AP teacher or AP Testing Coordinator, prior to Friday, April 1.

Please see the schedule below for Administration 2 exam dates, formats, and times. Communication from the schools will include a link to a form that a student can fill out should they need to request an alternate testing date.

Additional details, including arrival times, testing software setup and testing parameters will be shared by each AP class.
