College Board test security and test administration policies and procedures are designed to protect the integrity of the AP Exam and AP Exam scores. When College Board determines that a student’s testing experience did not meet College Board’s standards for administering exams—even through no fault of the student— College Board reserves the right to cancel an AP Exam score. The decision to cancel an AP Exam score is difficult; nonetheless, AP Exam scores must be canceled when College Board believes it is warranted to protect the integrity of the AP Exam for all AP students and for the colleges and universities that grant credit or advanced placement for qualifying AP scores.

Violation of College Board test security policies may also result in a student being prohibited from taking other College Board assessments in the future, as detailed below. College Board reserves the right to decline to score an AP Exam or cancel an AP Exam score when, in its judgment, any of the following occurs:

AP Exams are given on the same day around the world, it is critical that students taking the exam follow policies and procedures to keep the questions secure. The security policies and procedures are as follow:

• Students must not access any exam materials until instructed to do so by the proctor.
• Students may not, under any circumstances:
• remove exam content or materials from the testing room
• Give materials to anyone else

The following electronic equipment is prohibited in the exam room and break area: Phones, smartwatches, or wearable technology of any kind, laptops, tablet computers, Bluetooth devices, portable listening or recording devices, cameras or other photographic equipment, devices that can access the internet, separate timers of any type, and any other electronic or communication devices. A student observed with any of these devices during testing or breaks may be dismissed from the exam, the device may be confiscated, the student’s score may be canceled, and no retest may be permitted.

• Calculators are also prohibited unless they are allowed or required for specific exams.
• Students may not consult textbooks, notes, teachers, other students, or any other resource (including the prohibited equipment listed above) during the exam or during the break between Sections I and II of the exam, or during any unscheduled breaks.
• Students may not leave the building at any time during the test administration, including during a break.

The only approved devices allowed in the exam room is a student's District Issued Device and charging cord.

The AP exam is intended to be a fair assessment of your academic ability.

• If a student posts to any form of social media during the exam, or refers to unreleased exam content (multiple-choice, free-response, or short-answer response content) at any time after the exam, the student’s score will be canceled, no retest will be permitted, and the student may be banned from future testing on AP, SAT, or CLEP exams.
