(Your state or district may require you to keep seating charts for a longer period of time.) Having seating charts on file will help expedite an investigation of a reported incident should one occur.  \nRefer to the sample on this page to construct the seating chart. Use the diagram on the next page to indicate how exam booklets were distributed in your testing room.  \nNOTE: Seating charts should not be returned in the exam shipment unless they’re required as part of an incident report. In this case, the chart should be included in the IR Return envelope and placed in the first carton (carton 1 of X) returned to AP Services.  \n1. For large rooms, use a separate form for each area of the room and indicate, in words and with arrows, where areas adjoin each other.  \n2. At the top of the chart, indicate the AP Exam, room number, and school code. Beside the room number, indicate whether this is a complete room or a section of a larger room by specifying the section (i.e., A, B, C).  \n3. Indicate the position of the proctor’s desk or table if it’snot at the front of the room.  \n4. Indicate the location of the entrance doors.  \n5. Draw a line around the group of seats occupied in the room or in your assigned area.  \n6. Draw a large X to cross out any unused area outside the boundary. Draw a small X through any unused seats within the boundary.  \n7. Write the full name of the student.  \n8. If a student moves, the change should be noted directly on the chart in both the original and new name boxes. The first position should be labeled as Name-1 and the second as Name-2. If space permits, a note can be made next to the second box, or in available free space, indicating Name-2 moved due to [reason].  \n9. Print your name and the date where indicated.  \n10. The completed seating chart must be returned to the AP coordinator. Retain the seating chart for at least  \n6 months. College Board Test Security will advise if it needs to be submitted as part of an investigation.  \nReturn to Table of Contents 2025-26 AP Coordinator’s Manual, Part 2 141  \n© 2026 College Board  \n[Print and copy this form from](Print and copy this form from cb.org/apresourcelibrary)[ cb.org/apresourcelibrary](Print and copy this form from cb.org/apresourcelibrary).","cbCaiearq2oxjOS3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiearq2oxjOS3","pdf",309846,"English","# Seating chart requirements\n## Completion and diagram usage\n## Room labeling and physical layout\n## Student name updates and unused seats\n# Return and retention rules","[{\"question\":\"Who must complete the seating chart, and when is it required?\",\"answer\":\"The AP coordinator or proctor must complete a seating chart for every testing room used during each subject’s exam administration.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the proctor and room layout details be marked on the chart?\",\"answer\":\"The chart should include the AP Exam, room number, school code, any section letter (A, B, C), the proctor’s desk/table location (if not at the front), and the entrance doors.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the rules for unused seats/areas and recording student moves?\",\"answer\":\"Draw a line around the occupied group of seats and cross out unused areas with a large X; unused seats within the boundary get a small X.
