On exam day, I suggest bringing the following items:- Several pencils and an eraser that doesn’t leave smudges.
- Black or blue colored pens for the free-response section.
- A watch so that you can monitor your time. You never know if the exam room will have
a clock on the wall that keeps accurate time. - Your school code.
- Your photo identification and social security number.
- Tissues.
- Your quiet confidence that you are prepared.
Avoid bringing electronic data and communications devices, and study materials to the
testing site.“I’m sorry I
didn’t take the
AP Psychology
Exam. The col-
lege I chose did
not give credit
for the exam,
so I skipped it.
When I trans-
ferred to a
different college
as a sophomore,
I found out that
I could’ve gotten
six credits from
my new school.
What a loss!”
