Locate Their E-ticket
E-tickets will be emailed to your child two days before each exam they're taking. It will also include their AP ID, which they'll need on exam day.

Test Security

During the exam, your child may not collaborate with any person in any way, and their work must be their own. There are strict protocols in place to prevent and detect cheating, including the use of plagiarism detection tools. Students who give or receive aid will face consequences, including notifications to college admissions offices, score cancellations, and bans from future AP and SAT® exams.
