TEST DATES & TIMES

 8 AM, 12 PM, 2PM
    You may leave school after your morning AP test.
    New this year: You do not need to come in for morning
     classes before a 12 pm AP test.
    Also new this year: We will be starting the test
     instructions at 7:45 and 11:45 so the tests can finish
     earlier than in previous years.
    THERE ARE NO OPTIONS FOR BEING TARDY FOR A
     TEST! TESTING START TIMES ARE HARD TIMES. BE
     EARLY! IF YOU ARE ON TIME, YOU ARE LATE

LATE (MAKE-UP) TESTING:
              5/22 -5/24
 If you miss a test, there are options to make it up (if you
  choose to do so):
   If you simply miss the test, then you pay a change of
    exam fee and take it on a retake date
   For allowed circumstances, such as sickness, religious
    holidays, natural disaster, another exam, etc., no fee will be
    added, but you MUST let us know if you are not able to
    make a test date.
   You may not test early, nor test later in the day (i.e. tardy to
    school, game, etc.). You may not leave the test site until the
    test is over.

TEST REFUNDS/CANCELLATION
 CHS has earlier deadlines for registration than what is listed
