Update from the College Board: [PLEASE READ]
- Traditional face-to-face exam administrations will not take place.
- Some students may want to take the exam sooner rather than later, while the content is still fresh. Other students may want more time to practice. For each AP subject, there will be 2 different testing dates.
AP Seminar students will no longer be taking an end of course exam. You will only be submitting your individual PT1 and PT2 research papers. See below.
| Seminar | No final AP Exam | No final AP Exam | Individual Research Report + Individual Written Argument only (no team or individual presentations or end-of-course exam) | Digital Portfolio due date extended for all students to May 26 at 11:59 p.m. ET | |
Instructional Support
Beginning on Wednesday, March 25, students and teachers can attend free, live AP review courses, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. These mobile-friendly classes are:
- Designed to be used alongside work that may be given by schools.
- Will be recorded and available on-demand so teachers and students can access them any time.
- Not dependent on current AP teachers continuing instruction. We know many AP teachers now face challenges that would make that impossible.
- Will focus on reviewing the skills and concepts from the first 75% of the course. There will also be some supplementary lessons covering the final 25% of the course.

Do Now: Thinking about credibility and claims
Quickly read the article, then locate all of the claims and evidence. Copy and paste these into a google doc.
Make note of the strength of each claim you find: who said it? Why are they believable, or not? What makes a particular claim more believable than others?
