AP Online Testing Info

Digital Exam readiness steps: Log out of your chromebook. Access the chromebook apps in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Click on the digital testing app and log in using your My AP Classroom username and password. Try the practice exam to study for your exam (optional) 1-3 days before your digital exams, complete the exam set up: For each digital AP Exam, students must complete the exam setup step in the digital testing app. This step loads their exam onto the computer they’re going to test with. Completing this step is required 1–3 days before each exam. Without taking this step for each exam, students will not be able to test. Exam setup opens 3 calendar days before the exam date and must be completed no later than the day before the exam. Exam setup must be done on the computer the student will use for testing. Once setup is completed, the computer can’t be shared with another student until the exam is over and responses have been submitted to the AP Program. On exam day, all students must check in 30 minutes before the official start time of the exam—at 11:30 a.m. EDT for 12 p.m. exams and 3:30 p.m. EDT for 4 p.m. exams—to complete final pre-exam checks. Students can only check in on their testing computer, and can’t check in on multiple devices. If students don’t start check-in before the start time of the exam, they won’t be allowed to test and will have to request a makeup exam. Once they’ve completed check-in, students will see a timer at the top of their screen counting down the time remaining until the start time of the exam. The exam will begin automatically.

Teachers can help all students learn to more effectively use the time they spend studying by sharing research-proven techniques. STUDY LESS, WITH GREATER INTENSITY In this era of social media and digital distractions, many students—and adults—do a lot of multitasking.

G-Squared. Supporting Your Gifted LGBT Student

A parent recently shared this article with me and I thought I'd post it here to share with other parents, teachers, etc. https://www.sengifted.org/post/g-squared-supporting-your-gifted-lgbt-student G-Squared. Supporting Your Gifted LGBT Student Updated:  Jan 29, 2019 By Alessa Keener. We live in unprecedented times, where many Americans can proudly and safely live as out lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals.
