We continue to deliver one-on-one teaching for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams, as well as mock exams for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams.
Hang in there. We can get through this together.
Updates on how the coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting college admissions testing:
AP Exams:
For the 2019–20 exam administration only, students can take a 45-minute online exam at home.
Students will get to pick one of two dates to take their AP exams. Dates will be announced on April 3, when the College Board also plans to reveal what types of questions will appear for each of the dozens of subjects.
To be fair to all students the exam will only include topics and skills most AP teachers and students had already covered in class by early March.
Colleges support this solution and are committed to ensuring that AP students receive the credit they have worked this year to earn.
Students will be able to take their AP exams on any device they have access to—computer, tablet, or smartphone. Taking a photo of handwritten work will also be an option.
Test security is a concern. The exam questions are designed and administered in ways that prevent cheating; including a range of digital security tools and techniques, including plagiarism detection software, to protect the integrity of the exams.

AP Exams this year will not include any multiple-choice questions, only free-response questions adapted for secure testing at home.
The exam will be “open book” and “open note”. Yes, you can use your notes during the exams.
IB Exams: IB Exams scheduled from April 30th - May 22nd will be canceled for the 2019-2020 school year. Students will receive their IB diplomas or certificates based solely on their previous course performance.
Standardized Exams for the Class of 2021:
Many colleges have decided to switch to test-optional for the class of 2021. Even though it seems, counter-intuitive, this will likely make ACT and SAT scores more important for the class 2021 than any class in recent memory — read more here.
