College Board recently announced some changes to the AP tests this year, making early statements that tests would be 45-minutes long and only free response, in addition to being online. Today, College Board released more details that introduce specifics for each test.

Two separate dates for the online AP tests will be available to students, as well as free AP test cancellations; typically, they cost $40 to cancel.

“Some students may want to take the exam sooner rather than later, while the content is still fresh. Other students may want more time to practice,” Trevor Packer, the Senior Vice President for AP and Instruction, said.

Below is a breakdown for each AP course that BASH has currently running — some are missing as they did not meet requirements to run this year, such as Physics C that did not meet the amount of students required. The courses that did not run this year are Physics C, AP Computer Science, AP Studio Art, and AP Music Theory.
