I'll update when I hear more-- they say they will update around April 3rd.
My AP Lang Support Group feels that it will most likely be a rhetorical analysis essay.
That's SPACE CAT kids...

UPDATE FROM CB:
AP Exam Administration
|
Students remain eager to take AP Exams and have a chance to earn credit and placement. We surveyed 18,000 AP students and 91% indicated they want to complete this important step, urging us not to cancel this opportunity.
The AP Program will invest heavily over the next month in the following ways:
|
•
|
For the 2019-20 exam administration only, students can take a 45-minute online exam at home. Educator-led development committees are currently selecting the exam questions that will be administered.
|
•
|
Some students may want to take the exam sooner rather than later, while the content is still fresh. Other students may want more time to practice. For each AP subject, there will be two different testing dates.
|
•
|
AP curricula are locally developed and we defer to local decisions on how best to help students complete coursework. To be fair to all students, some of whom have lost more instructional time than others, the exam will only include topics and skills most AP teachers and students have already covered in class by early March.
|
•
|
Colleges support this solution and are committed to ensuring that AP students receive the credit they've worked this year to earn. For decades, colleges have accepted a shortened AP Exam for college credit when groups of students have experienced emergencies.
|
•
|
Students will be able to take these streamlined exams on any device they have access to—computer, tablet, or smartphone. Taking a photo of handwritten work will also be an option.
|
•
|
We recognize that the digital divide could prevent some low-income and rural students from participating. Working with partners, we'll invest so these students have the tools and connectivity they need to review AP content online and take the exam.

Daily Online Review AP Classes
|
Beginning on Wednesday, March 25, students and schools will have access to free, live AP review lessons, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. The lessons will focus on reviewing the skills and concepts from the first 75% of the course. These mobile-friendly classes are:
|
•
|
Designed to be used alongside work that may be given by schools.
|
•
|
Recorded and will be available on-demand so teachers and students can access them any time.
|
•
|
Not dependent on current AP teachers continuing instruction. We know many AP teachers now face challenges that would make that impossible.
|
|
The schedule will be posted online today.
