F.A.Q - Mr. Allen's Class (Bullard High APUSH)

Will the College Board provide any tutorial/review opportunities?

Yes. Beginning on Wednesday, March 25, students and teachers can attend free, live AP review courses, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. These mobile-friendly classes are:

Designed to be used alongside work that may be given by schools.
Will be recorded and 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.
Will focus on reviewing the skills and concepts from the first 75% of the course. There will also be some supplementary lessons including topics from the final 25% of the course.

Will I still have an opportunity to take the AP US exam?

Yes. For the 2019–20 exam administration only, students can take a 45-minute online free-response exam at home. The Exam will consist of a 5 document DBQ given at 11:00AM on Friday, May 15th.

When will I receive more details about how and when to take the AP exam from home?

Students can choose from two different test dates, these dates will be released by April 3. I will send more info out as soon as this information is available.

Are the assignments Mr. Allen posts required?

No. Any assignments I post are optional and intended to 1) provide you with educational opportunities during this unprecedented time & 2) better prepare you for the up-coming AP exam. That said, there will be multiple opportunities for you to improve your 3rd quarter grade.
