Good thing since I haven't been in school to get a photo ID

What a blessing!! I've noticed my connection is extremely poor when I turn my camera on during Zoom and whatnot, so this is great news. Do you know if we have to submit our audio? I believe that was the case last year

If they don’t allow students to go back and forth between questions in digital exams, doesn’t that put them in a disadvantage compared to the ones taking it at school?

It’s to prevent cheating. If someone in honolulu Hawaii took the test at 6 am, and someone in california took the test at let’s say 3 pm and the people in honolulu complete the test at 9 am, people can exchange answers to the people taking the test after them. It’s pretty shitty but what can you do😭

i get what you’re saying but the issue is that the types of questions aren’t going to change much per se so that info could be shared, especially cause this year the questions were quite different from past ones (i gave ap cs) which would give some test takers an edge

Would a student I.D. count as a photo I.D. or does it need to be an official state I.D.? And how do they choose who takes the in-school v.s. online exams?

[@MarcoLearning]

Unfortunately, College Board hasn't specified which I.D. you'll need yet, but if you follow our Instagram channel, we will provide updates as soon as we hear them! Your AP teachers and coordinators are in charge of deciding whether you take the exam in-school or at home.
