• If something unexpected happens that prevents you from taking the AP Exam on the date you were scheduled, you can talk to Mrs. Cole about taking the exam during the late testing window. There are criteria for testing in the late window; it is not for students who just want to test later. There must be a valid, pre-approved reason.
