Something tells me this will be welcome news for many Newton high school parents:

…the College Board is offering free, virtual classes for Advanced Placement (AP) students in addition to at-home AP testing. (The exam will only include topics and skills that most AP teachers and students have already covered in class by early March. Information about what will be covered on this year’s AP Exams is listed on AP Central.) Students and teachers can attend free, live AP review courses, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. These mobile-friendly classes will be recorded and available on-demand so teachers and students can access them any time and will focus on reviewing the skills and concepts from the first 75 percent of the course. There will also be some supplementary lessons covering the final 25 percent of the course.

The AP exams will only be given remotely this year, and the College Board is working with partners to address any barriers to technology that students might face. If your students need mobile tools or connectivity in order to take an AP exam, please reach out to the College Board directly to let them know.
