Brookwood High School
2026 Advanced Placement Testing Information for Registered Students
Please take a few moments to read this important AP testing information in its entirety.
Before the Day of Your AP Test
● Take a look at the schedule on the back of this page to know where and when to report for your test. ALSO check the date/time and format(digital or hybrid) of your exams in your My AP account and in the Bluebook app on your Chromebook. If you cannot access Bluebook let your AP teacher know before test day. Students must use their College Board account to log in to the Bluebook app on their Chromebook. Saved passwords will not work on exam day, and they should memorize their login credentials.
● IMPORTANT: Go to apscore.org and sign up for a free account to get your scores online in July. If you think you already have an account, go to the website to try to sign in to verify. Your AP teacher can assist you.
On the Day of Your AP Test
Arrive on time.
● If you are taking an AM exam, arrive by 7:00 to get in line for exam registration. Registration begins promptly at 7:00. Look on the back of this page to know where to report.
● If you are taking a PM exam, arrive by 11:00 to get in line for exam registration. Registration begins promptly at 11:00. Look on the back of this page to know where to report.
● If you have an AM exam and a PM exam on the same day, you will register for your PM test once your AM test is finished.
● DO NOT BE LATE. Set multiple alarms. Once we have begun testing, you may not enter the testing room.
• In general, you are not required to attend your classes before/after the testing period on a day you are scheduled to take an AP exam. However, if you have a final exam scheduled that same day, it is advised you try to make it work to do both, although your AP exam takes priority. If you have any questions or concerns, visit the Testing Office, Room A114.

Passes will be distributed to all students in Guided Study to allow test takers to check out following testing and to allow non-test takers to check in at 11:15 a.m. after testing has concluded.
If a student is registered for both the SAT and Gwinnett Writes, the student will take the SAT on March 19, and will participate in a make-up administration for Gwinnett Writes.
Following are descriptions and guidelines for the two upcoming tests:
Thursday, March 19, 2026

If these students still wish to take an SAT, they will need to register for a Saturday administration through the College Board website AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE.
The SAT does not count as a grade for any class at Brookwood. It can however be useful for college admission and scholarship purposes.
