YouTube

Spring is just around the corner and for AP students this also means AP tests are fast approaching. This year, the AP test has undergone some minor changes, but it is still similar to what was expected in previous years.  The biggest change is the option to take the test at home online. There are some formatting differences between the at-home and in-person tests but they both boil down to the same thing, a test.
