Hey, I'm taking the AP Environmental Science exam soon and want to be fully prepared. What items should I bring with me on the test day? Any recommendations or must-haves I should be aware of?
Hello! To ensure you're prepared for the AP Environmental Science exam, it's essential to bring the following items with you on test day:
1. Photo ID: Make sure to bring a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license, school ID, or passport. The ID is required for check-in and verification purposes.
2. #2 Pencils: You'll need several sharpened #2 pencils with erasers. Mechanical pencils are not allowed. It's a good idea to bring a few extras in case tips break or erasers wear down.
3. Black or dark blue pens: For the free-response section, you'll need black or dark blue pens with smooth ink flow. Make sure they don't bleed through the paper as well.
4. AP Student Pack: This pack should be provided by your school or testing center, and contains essential information like your AP number. If you don't receive it beforehand, don't panic; you'll get it on test day from your test proctor.
5. Calculator: You're allowed to use an approved calculator for the AP Environmental Science exam. Check the College Board calculator policy to ensure your calculator is allowed.
6. Extra batteries: If you're using a calculator that requires batteries, bring extras just in case.
7. Watch (optional): A watch (without smart features or alarms) can help you manage your time during the test. Make sure it doesn't make noise or have connection capabilities.
8. Snacks and water (optional): You're allowed a break during the exam, so you may want to bring a small snack and water to stay energized and hydrated. Keep these items in a separate bag and only access them during designated break times.
9. Layered clothing (optional): Dressing in layers can help you stay comfortable if the testing room becomes too hot or cold.
Remember that electronic devices like phones, smartwatches, and headphones are strictly prohibited during the exam. Make sure to review the College Board guidelines for AP exams for any additional information. Best of luck on your AP Environmental Science exam!
