Alright team, as AP exams are drawing near, hit me up with: What should I bring to my AP exams? And yes, I'm the type who needs a checklist for everything. Anything to minimize test-day panic!
Hello there! It's great that you're actively preparing for your AP exams. Being prepared can definitely ease the test-day jitters. Here's a quick checklist for you:
- Several sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers for your multiple-choice answer sheet.
- Pens with black or dark blue ink for any essays or free-response sections.
- An approved calculator if you're taking Math or Science-based AP exams like Calculus or Chemistry (be sure to check the College Board's list of approved calculator models).
- Up-to-date admission ticket.
- A valid photo ID.
- Snacks and water for your break time (though remember, these can't be accessed during the exam itself).
- A watch without an audible alarm to keep track of time (smartwatches are typically not allowed).
Double-check this list the night before, and you'll be all set to tackle your exams with confidence. Good luck!
