LOGISTICS AND DETAILS

This event consists of two parts:

1. Students take a full practice AP Exam (AP Precalculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, or AP Statistics)
2. An afternoon Scoring Session to review the solutions and grading standards (separate session for each exam)

At the end of the day, every student will know their score (1-5) on the practice exam they took. 

IN-PERSON (9:00am-3:00pm):

For those participating in-person, the practice exams will be given in the morning and we will review the solutions and grading standards in the afternoon.

There will be a check-in table inside of The Commons (CHEM) building (1306 E. University Blvd.). You can find a map of the UA campus at: https://map.arizona.edu/. Keep an eye out for flags and signs to help guide you! 

PARKING AND DROP OFF:  

• Second Street Garage (pay to park in all UA garages) is the closest garage to the exam rooms and the Student Union for lunch options.
• There is Visitor and Street Parking on Fourth Street, Highland Avenue, and Cherry Avenue

AP Practice Exam Schedule

Light snacks and water will be provided.  There will be a 45-minute lunch break before the Scoring Session. Students should bring lunch or quickly go to the UA Student Union for food.

ONLINE (Scoring Session by Zoom, 1:15-3:00pm): 

For those participating online in the Scoring Session (1:15-3:00pm), it is essential that all students take the full practice exam IN ADVANCE. Facilitators will take a few minutes to provide the correct answers to the Multiple Choice problems, but the bulk of the Scoring Session will be dedicated to the Free Response section.

By hosting the Scoring Session in the afternoon, teachers and schools have the flexibility to coordinate students taking the practice exam however works best for their specific situation. For example, schools may have students sit for an in-person exam the morning of the event, and then host a viewing of the Scoring Session by Zoom in the afternoon. Or students may take the practice exam in multiple class sessions leading up to the event. Again, it is up to teachers and schools to coordinate the practice exam for their students BEFORE the Scoring Session.

Regardless of when the practice exam is administered, attending the online Scoring Session should be a group event with the teacher, NOT individual students joining from home. Teachers can choose the best way to coordinate this, but the Zoom links will NOT be provided directly to students.

Zoom links will only be provided to teachers who register for the event (details provided the week of the event). In order to keep to our schedule and to address tech issues, TEACHERS should login to the Zoom session no later than 1:00pm.

**NOTE: Due to the confidential nature of using recent AP Exams for this event, students may NOT take the practice exams home or otherwise have access to the practice exams outside of the supervision of their teacher. This means that both parts of the event (taking the exam and the Scoring Session), must happen in a “secure environment”, with all materials collected after each part. 

Here is the official language from the College Board:

• I understand that AP Practice exams are for in-classroom use only. If the Practice Exams are administered to students in a virtual classroom or to students at home, I will make them available to students within the testing period only and will NOT post them on school or other websites. I am aware that I may incorporate questions from the AP Practice Exam into shorter assessments that I create, so long as my assessments are administered in a secure environment and test questions are only available to students during the testing period. I understand that any additional distribution or publication of the AP Practice Exam violates the College Boards copyright policies and may result in the termination of exam access for my school as well as access to other online services, such as the AP Teacher Community.

AI transcriptions and any recording of the test/scoring session will not be permitted.
