5 Steps to a 5TM AP European History

(^6) › STEP 1. Set Up Your Study Program
find a coordinator, you can check the College Board’s website (www.collegeboard.org). You
should visit the site, even if your school has an AP Coordinator, as it will always have the
latest and most up-to-date information.
In 2017, it cost $92 to take the AP European History Exam. Students who demonstrate
financial need may receive a credit or refund to help offset the cost of testing. See your AP
Coordinator or high-school counselor for information specific to your state and school.
There are also several optional fees that must be paid if you want your scores rushed to you
or if you wish to receive multiple grade reports.
What Should I Bring to the AP Exam?
There are several things that are either required or a good idea to have with you at the exam.
They include the following:
• A good supply of #2 pencils with erasers that don’t smudge (for the multiple-choice
section)
• Several black- or blue-colored ink pens (for the other sections)
• A watch so that you can monitor your time. You never know if the exam room will have
a clock, and you won’t have a cell phone or other electronic devices (be sure to turn any
alarms or chimes off ).
• Your photo ID and Social Security number
What Should I NOT Bring to the Exam?
There are a number of things that you are not allowed to use during the exam. Prohibited
items you should not bring include the following:
• Reference books of any kind, including notebooks, dictionaries, and encyclopedias
• A laptop computer
• Electronic devices, like cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), pagers, and walkie-
talkies
• Portable music devices of any kind, including CD players, MP3 players, and iPods
• Mom, dad, and friends (there is no room for them, and you don’t need the distraction)
