Swine Flu and AP Testing IMPORTANT!!!!!

<p>Our school got closed until next week because some students got the swine flu. This means that I do cannot take AP Chem, AP Gov, and AP Stats etc. til the last testing period.!!!!!!</p>

<p>Did this happen with anyone else?</p>

<p>When is the last testing period??????</p>

<p>It happened to numerous schools in my area, but my school is open for now. </p>

<p>I think that the last testing period is the 2nd Friday… May 15th?</p>

<p>Actually I just checked for those of you that are going through the same stuff as me…</p>

<p>Late Testing Period : May 20-22</p>

<p>omg I would die if that happened at my school.</p>

<p>Anyway I heard the swine flu is less dangerous than the regular flu? what is the big deal?</p>

<p>The big deal is that 36,000 people die every year from the “typical” flu… and now less than a hundred are dying from this other strain…</p>

<p>This would be nice, I would have a whole three weeks to study for chem… which I should be doing right now.</p>

<p>yeah…i dont think our school needs to be closed down for a week and a half.</p>

<p>The 36,000 people who die from “typical” flu are typically elderly people or people with AIDS and other chronic illnesses that impair their immune systems. They are worried about the swine flu because the “less than a hundred” people who die are healthy middle-age and younger adults/teenagers with generally healthy immune systems.</p>

<p>Personally I don’t think it’s a big deal and we shouldn’t worry so much.</p>

<p>There is an alternative testing date that the schools can get from College Board, which will probably apply to situations where schools are closed due to H1N1. This will have the testing later in May than the originally scheduled dates. Your school should be able to provide you with details.</p>

<p>Yeah, I knowwww… I was just repeating what my mother’s been saying… who said that is what Obama said… but I just heard Ann Coulter say it :X</p>

<p>Found on collegeboard that the grades of last testing may be delayed up to a month (August release), and free-response booklets will not be available.
I cancelled all the four AP exams,which are Cal BC,two parts of physics C,and chemistry, and I am anxious to know whether it’s necessary for me to take the last testing for the four tests, which would result in no grade marks of the free-response sections and my full marks are impossible to reach 5 in this state.</p>
