<p>I just found out my school's physics tests will be invalidated because there was a formula on some of the AP shirts. Does anyone know whether or not I'll get to retake the test or a refund or anything? I'd rather not see $82 go to waste.</p>
<p>“AP shirts”???</p>
<p>You may not get a refund or a retake, considering the shirts will be considered cheating aids by the OTI. Out of curiosity, what formula was on there?</p>
<p>And the only example of a school’s scores being cancelled that I can think of off the top of my head is Trabuco Hills High School.</p>
<p>our scores got invalidated not because of that but someone called the OTI that someone was cheating during AP GOV. Then our school submitted a seating chart. Collegeboard officially ruled that our school had wrong seating chart, they suppose to put students facing in the same direction.
Thererfore, any ap that had more than 30 students have to retake the test and invalidated the first ap that we took</p>
<p>Hmm… well, the college board does explicitly say to not bring clothing that has information pertinent to the exam on it, but will EVERYONE’s scores be invalidated? If so, that just sucks… I would contact the college board if you are not one of the people that wore those shirts.</p>
<p>And what exactly are “AP Shirts”</p>
<p>
Some classes/teachers decide to order shirts for the students in the particular AP class, sort-of like club shirts (e.g. and FBLA shirt, a DECA shirt, etc.).</p>
<p>One year at my HS, the AP World History shirts had a map or a globe and everybody wore them to the exam… they had to take them off and turn them inside-out so that the map couldn’t be used as an aid during the test.</p>
<p>AP shirts?
Man, you guys are too cool for school.</p>
<p>Not something I’d ever spend money on, but I think it’s great that some students find a way to positively take light of the whole AP exam situation, as opposed to "oh God… a long, boring exam -____- "</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Think of shirts for a club or team and apply that concept to an AP class.</p>
<p>Wow you guys have way too much fun in your class…AP shirts</p>
<p>Also, I was just wondering. What if a senior decided to do a prank and pull the fire alarm during the test and then everyone had to go outside? Do the test-takers have to take the alternate again? Or can the proctor continue after the alarm’s over</p>
<p>Actually last year my school had something similar. There was a gunman who entered the grounds of the school, causing the school to go to lockdown during the APUSH test. We heard the announcement, saw coaches running like crazy to lock the gym doors, and continued on with our essays :v</p>

<p>Now tthats true dedication to that college credit. Risking your life for a test. Wow</p>
<p>We had a fire drill during one of the tests last year; they let everyone just go back in and continue the test after it was over.</p>
<p>Last year some kid pulled the fire alarm during an AP Stats exam and some kids kept working on their tests outside so everyone had to do the late test two weeks later.</p>
<p>Lol my school is bog on fire alarm pranks.
They just warned us beforehand that if the fire alarm goes, we continue the exam unless the flames start coming in</p>
<p>^ Same. The fire alarm rang three-four times consistently during the first hour of our test, and our proctors yelled, “IGNORE IT!”</p>

<p>Strange that musta been a prank for someone who really hates AP tests, or someone taking the AP test</p>
<p>3-4 times is no coincidence</p>
<p>“unless the flames start coming in LMAO”</p>
<p>Never has happened in my school.</p>
<p>Last year, the AP Physics test had to be taken late because my school is notorious for bomb threats. If there if one, you have to get out of the building and go to the track like way up a hill. Lucky, we haven’t had any this year. They were like getting ready to start and the intercom came on telling everyone to get out</p>
