Delaying your AP Test

<p>I have a basketball game during the same time of my AP Comparative Government test. I can delay it if I want and take it at a later time. How much later is the makeup test, and how much harder is it?</p>

<p>The makeup exams are usually held the week after APs. From what i’ve heard, they’re usually much harder than the normal ones. To get a feel for the FRQs of the makeup tests, look at the Form B for CGAP on ap central.</p>

<p>Form B is not the makeup test. Form B is the test for Europe/Asia.</p>

<p>The makeup versions have never been released.</p>

<p>Are you sure the test is MUCH harder? Do you know of any specific examples or reasons why this is?</p>

<p>According to the collegeboard website, they aren’t harder.</p>

<p>are you guys sure you can makeup the ap exam because of sports??? im in the same situation and i really want to find out!</p>

<p>the makeup exams are NOT harder. I took multiple make up tests last year and did better than what I had expected on all of them. For Bio especially, I think I really lucked out taking the make up if anything…the FRQs were SO much easier (for me anyway) than those on the main test (which are posted online)</p>

<p>so I think it depends.</p>

<p>just say you have SWINE FLU!!!</p>

<p>^lmao i had to laugh at that one. i wonder what the high schools are doing for ap exams that are shut down because of swine flu right now cuz you’d think you’d see a helluva lot of threads from nervous students asking that around here…</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can’t postpone it for sports? My APUSH teacher says the makeup exams are harder. My friend said she knew somebody (yeah, I know doesn’t sound reliable) that wanted to do a makeup because her dad died the day before her exam and the school couldn’t do it. I think Collegeboard says you can for extreme illness or disaster (like a tornado, or 10 kids at your school got swine flu)</p>

<p>EDIT:
Don’t say you have Swine Flu to the school. They’ll have to shut it down for a week and postpone everybody’s exams.</p>

<p>^Unless you do have Swine Flu. (lol)</p>

<p>And I think it depends on the school, as far a policies go. Some may let you make it up, especially if others are making it up for other reasons. I know my school doesn’t. They don’t even let you take AP exams for which you aren’t in the AP course.</p>

<p>S may have broken his thumb on his writing hand last night. (We’re awaiting xray results). 3 AP tests coming up in the next week. He can write Ok, but not great (has to hold the pencil differently). I have a call into the school’s AP coordinator. Do they ever allow extra time for tests?</p>

<p>I’m not sure if they’d postpone in a case like that. They might bring in somebody to do the writing on the test.</p>
