AP Testing Information
As it does every year at the beginning of May, A.P. Testing will take place here at GLHS according to the following College Board schedule:
VERY IMPORTANT FOR FAMILIES: Please note that MORNING A.P. Testing begins at 8:00AM, even though school doesn’t begin at GLHS until 8:35A.M. This time is established by the College Board. Students testing in the morning should report to their testing location by 7:35A.M. in order to have time for pre-test administrative tasks and in order to begin testing right at 8:00AM. NO STUDENTS WILL BE ADMITTED INTO TESTING ROOMS AFTER 8:00A.M.
Additionally, the College Board outlines very specific reasons that a student may be “excused” from A.P. Testing at the designated date & time, and therefore eligible for makeup testing (otherwise called “late testing”).
Those reasons are:
Academic contest/event
Athletic contest/event
Conflict with I.B. or Cambridge exam
Conflict with nationally-, provincially-, or state-mandated testing
Delayed shipment [of exam materials]
New for 2025: Digital testing logistics
Disabilities accommodations issues
Emergency: bomb scare or fire alarm
High School graduation
Language Lab scheduling conflict
Makeup AP Exam due to an incident during the initial exam
Religious holiday/observance
School closing: election, national holiday, or natural disaster
Serious injury, personal illness, or family tragedy
Strike/labor conflict
Student court appearance
2 or more AP exams scheduled on the same day
Students eligible for makeup testing must adhere to a specific “late testing Calendar” established by the College Board.
If your student must miss their AP Exam due to one of the reasons outlined above, please reach out to Mr. Kris Fuller (fullerk@gjps.org) or Mrs. Annie Prenoveau (prenoveaua@gjps.org) as quickly as possible to get your student added to the late-testing administration of their exam(s).
If a student’s absence is not excused (pursuant to the reasons listed above), or if no communication is established promptly with Mr. Fuller or Mrs. Prenoveau to be added to the late-testing list, students are at risk for not being able to test.
