<p>So my phone was in the front of the room and my alarm went off during the second half of my ap lang exam. The testing coordinator at my school says the exam will be invalidated. I want to know if there is any chance that it won't be invalidated. If you know someone whose been in a similar situation and gotten out of it please tell me how. I really don't want this whole year to have been a waste. </p>
<p>Can someone please reply I’m stressing really hard about this.</p>
<p>Lulz, at my school’s AP Calc BC exam, the proctor was talking the entire time…</p>
<p>How many times do they have to tell people to just leave their phone in the car? Smh</p>
<p>You could have avoided this situation very easily - you could’ve left your phone at home (or in your car, like @teenbodybuilder said, or even in a locked locker) or you could’ve given it to the office to hold or a friend who wasn’t testing at the time. It’s been no secret that College Board values test security above all else (except maybe… money, but that’s a whole different story) - but AP testing and proctoring is especially notorious for how strict it is - something as simple as an alarm going off could be thought as a signal/answer/any-ambiguous-form-of-cheating.</p>
<p>I suggest calling College Board (they’re closed on Saturdays, I think - call on Monday morning; or have your GC call) and explain that it was an accident and see where you can go from there. </p>
<p>@preamble1776 what number exactly do I call and who or what department do I ask for?</p>
