The Basics

Before the test make sure to get a good night sleep and eat good, fulfilling, nutritious meals. Make sure you know the test format. You can ask your teacher about format or visit the college board website to learn more.

“It is helpful to know how the test works instead of knowing exact information,” said junior Mark Nichols.

Lastly, take practice tests and attend study sessions your teacher may offer.

When to start studying?

Now! It is better to start studying as soon as possible instead of cramming right before the test.

“If you do everything in an extended period of time you are going to remember it better than if you cram it all into a week before the test,” said Nichols.

What to bring to the exam room?

Make sure you have a couple sharpened number two pencils, black or blue pens, a watch that does not have internet access, calculators (if you are taking the AP Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, or Statistics), a ruler (if you are taking the AP Physics exam), your Social Security number, a photo ID and lastly, know your six-digit school code (lunch number).
