Advanced Placement or AP are college-level exams for high school students in several subjects within six disciplines. The exams contain both multiple-choice and free-response questions.
Each subject is scored from 1 to 5, and this score determines your college credit in the future.
Did you know that last year AP exams were conducted in a hybrid way, which means both/ either paper-pencil tests or/ and online?
What does this mean for AP test 2023? Is it going to be online? Is it going to go back to being offline? Or is it going to be hybrid?
Let’s find out!
If your guess was offline, then you are absolutely right! Amidst the prevailing pandemic, there also has been great improvement around the states, it is admittedly going to get even better in the future especially as our big day is around May.
Therefore the organisation has decided to resume offline exams from this year. They will definitely continue COVID-19 protocols for safety, which are yet to be announced.
The 2023 AP Exams will be administered in schools as paper-and-pencil exams over two weeks in May: May 1 – 5 and May 8 – 12.
The fee may not differ with resuming the offline exam is what is expected as of now.
