Dear High School Students and Parents,

Before heading out on the upcoming holiday, I would like to wish each of our students success in their upcoming AP or IB exams. May good luck be in your favor and your preparation bring you fantastic results!  

To help you prepare and meet with success in your exams, I have some quick reference items and advice to share.  

AP and IB Exam Schedule (Exams run from Monday, May 1 to Friday, May 19)

Attendance Guidelines

  • AP students and IB Course students with an exam scheduled in the afternoon are excused from Blocks 1-3 for the day of their exam.
  • AP students and IB Course students with an exam scheduled the following morning are excused from Block 4 the day in advance of their exam.

Pre-Exam Preparation

  • Eat a healthy and well-balanced breakfast on the day of your exam.  “Many studies reveal that recall, performance and concentration are better if you have eaten a morning meal.” (https://www.healthyfood.com/advice/eating-for-better-exam-performance/)
  • Get sufficient sleep (8-10 hours) the night before and in the days leading up to your exam.  
  • Arrive at the exam location early to relax and get settled.
