Hey everyone! I'm trying to plan out my studying schedule for the upcoming AP exams. I was wondering if anyone knows the specific times that the AP exams usually start? I'm just trying to anticipate the sort of routine I'll need to get into for the exams.
The AP exams generally start at 8:00 AM for the morning session and 12:00 PM (noon) for the afternoon session. On some occasions like in 2020 and 2021, there have been digital AP exams that students could take from home, and these exams could be taken at any time within a certain window. However, under normal circumstances, most students take their AP exams at a school testing center, and they begin at either 8:00 AM or 12:00 PM.
The College Board recommends that students arrive at the testing center 30 minutes before the exam starts in order to get settled and go through any necessary procedures. That's something you may want to factor into your routine as well. Good luck with your studying and your exams!
