April 2021

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Your child is registered to take an Advanced Placement (AP) exam (s).  It is the student’s responsibility to arrive on time and at the correct location on the exam date.  All AP testing this year will be given on campus at Palm Harbor University High School.  Specific room assignments will be listed on the back of this letter and posted on the school website.  Please refer to the Collegeboard website for general information/preparation for AP exams located here: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap-2021/updates. Please remind your child to bring number 2 pencils (mechanical pencils are not permitted) and pens with black or blue ink to the exam.  Graphing calculators are permitted for the Biology, Chemistry, Calculus AB & BC, Physics, and Statistics exams; students must bring their own.  Only 4 function calculators will be provided at the testing site.
