BEST EXAM DAY PRACTICES 5 AP Exam Day Absolutes Everyone is stressed on the day of an AP exam! Here are 5 things to remember for the day of your exam (or days of your exams): Arrive at least 30 minutes before your exam You will need to check-in for each exam and locate your assigned seat. While this may seem like it would not take much time, keep in mind that many exams have a hundred or more students also signing in at the same time. Bring your ID College Board requires us to check for proper identification to ensure that the correct exam materials are being given to the student registered for the exam. If you do not have your student ID or driver s license at the time of check-in, you will need to find a teacher or administrator to verify who you are. Bring ONLY allowable items in a CLEAR BAG Packing your testing items in a clear zipper bag allows you to keep all of your things together and ready to go on the day of your AP exam.
