Arrival

Please arrive at 7:30 am.  Students who arrive after 8:10 may be denied entry to the test center and may not be able to test.

 

Please be patient as we do our best to avoid crowds at the doors and get everyone safely admitted to the test center.

 

Entering the School

Last names A-L: Door 1 (Main entrance)

Last names M-Z: Door 2 (to the left of the main entrance)

 

  • Lists with student names and testing locations will be posted at each entrance.  Please verify your test (with essay, without essay, subject, etc.) and your room.
  • Once you enter the school, please proceed directly to your assigned testing room.  Do not socialize in the hallways.  If you need to use the restroom, ask your room proctor which restroom to use.

 

Have your ID and test ticket ready in your hand to present to your test room proctor for verification.  This will help prevent crowding at classroom doors.  Follow your proctor’s instructions regarding where to sit once you are in the classroom.

 

Parents/guardians may NOT enter the building under any circumstances.

 

Prohibited Items

  • Cellphones
  • Tablets
  • Smartwatches/Fitness trackers
  • Prohibited calculators

 

If these items are brought to the test center, they will be collected by your room proctor.  You will not have access to your device until after testing is completed and other students have been dismissed. 

 

Safety Protocols

  • All students and test center staff must wear a mask at all times, except when eating or drinking during break.  The mask must cover the face and nose.
  • Hand sanitizer is available in each testing room, in the hallways, and at entrances.  Students may also bring their own sanitizer.
  • Restroom use will be limited so there is no crowding in restrooms during breaks.
  • CollegeBoard has allowed slightly extended breaks as needed to limit crowding.
  • Students who do not follow health and safety protocols will be dismissed from testing.
