TROUBLESHOOTING AP EXAMS
Collegeboard is working hard in the background to figure out why some students are encountering issues and have created a troubleshooting page for students.  I want to assure you that we have no desire for students to have issues and we understand the frustration of students and parents.   I want to share this page and draw your attention to a few of the most common issues.  I’ve only copied a few of the issues below, so review and share the whole page with students.
