With college credit on the line, high school students across the peninsula are preparing for Advanced Placements tests unlike anything they have ever seen before. With students remote learning around the world registered to take a test in one of the dozens of different subject areas, the AP exams will take place at home on their devices instead of pencil and paper. The test will be at specific times for a shorter period, though students will be able to use their books and notes. The material on the exam will only be what was covered through mid-March, which is when the COVID-19 pandemic led to schools shutting their buildings down for the remainder of the year. Luxemburg-Casco School District Superintendent Glenn Schlender says he is confident his AP teachers have been able to prepare their students for the unique circumstances.

Despite the drastic changes to its testing, the College Board assured parents and students on its website that the vast majority of institutions will still accept the test results to earn course credits. AP Testing lasts until May 22nd.
