There are 27 AP exams spread out from May 5-23. Students in all grades take AP exams, from freshman in AP World History to seniors in AP Stats. These exams are being held in the main gym and portables.

There are two times, one in the morning at 8 a.m and the other at noon. The Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism exam is the only one that starts at 2 p.m. These exams are 3-4 hours long.

“Get a good night’s sleep the night before and eat a good breakfast and/or lunch on the day of the exam,” vice principal Valerie Piehl said.
