For information regarding the seating requirements or Administration Incidents, refer to the 2025-26 AP Coordinator’s Manual, Part 2. | | --- | | Exam Administration Dates and Times
All exams must be administered on the ofﬁcial testing schedule date(s) and time(s) (available [at](at cb.org/apexamdates)[ cb.org/apexamdates](at cb.org/apexamdates)) . Schools in all locations must begin the morning exam administration between 8 and 9 a.m. local time and the afternoon exam administration between 12 and 1 p.m. local time.
Late testing is only permitted following the policies on pages 21–22 in the 2025-26 AP Coordinator’s Manual, Part 2. Schools offering late testing must order late-testing exams—regularly scheduled exams must not be administered on late-testing dates, or vice versa.
Administering an exam on a date other than its assigned date and time—including a regularly scheduled exam during the late-testing administration or vice versa—will result in the cancellation of students’ exam scores. | Important Information • Begin Exams with the General Instructions: The General Instructions must be read before all accommodated paper exams. All students taking an accommodated paper exam will complete the same identification fields on their answer sheet at every exam administration. • Incident Report (IR): Incidents requiring an IR must be submitted online through AP Registration and Ordering by the AP coordinator. • Prohibited Visitors and Photography: No visitors, including teachers, are permitted unless authorized by College Board. • AP teachers are never permitted in the exam room at any time during the exam administration for the subject that they teach. • Photographing an AP Exam administration is strictly prohibited unless permission is granted by College Board. • Managing the Exam Break: In the proctor script, you’ll see information about the standard 10-minute break between Sections I and II of the exams. If logistical constraints in your building require that a limited number of students may access the restroom or hallways at the same time, you may elect to double the time of the scheduled breaks (including accommodated breaks) to ensure that students can access the restrooms or hallway in an orderly fashion. As per standard AP policy, the break must be monitored. The decision to lengthen the break is optional, does not need to be applied to every testing room uniformly, and is not required to administer AP Exams. If your school chooses to provide a longer break, you’re not required to use all the additional time and you don’t need to report to the AP Program that a longer break was provided (unless any kind of exam administration incident occurs related to the break) . • Unscheduled Breaks During the Exam: Fol

FAQs

What must proctors do before starting accommodated paper exams?

Proctors must read the General Instructions and the subject’s proctor script verbatim to students in English before beginning any accommodated paper exam.

When can schools administer exams for late testing?

Late testing is permitted only following the late-testing policies in the 2025-26 AP Coordinator’s Manual, Part 2, and schools must order late-testing exams rather than using regularly scheduled exams on late-testing dates.

What are the rules for breaks and restroom access during the exam?

A single student may go alone at any time, and two or more students may go only if a proctor accompanies them. The exam room must never be left unattended, students should not remove materials, and extra testing time must not be provided for restroom use during timed periods.
