Administering AP Exams with Accommodations
Before students can take AP Exams with accommodations, they must have approval from SSD.
In most cases, the school’s SSD coordinator will work with the AP coordinator to ensure that students with approved requests receive the correct accommodations.
Instructions
-
Read the AP Accommodations Guide
Both the SSD coordinator and AP coordinator should begin by reading the AP Accommodations Guide.
If students approved for accommodations will be taking digital AP Exams, then review details for accommodations on digital exams.
The AP coordinator should also review "Exams for Students with Disabilities" in the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 2 (.pdf/8.65 MB).
-
Order the appropriate exams and materials.
AP coordinators will find information about ordering exams in the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 1 (.pdf/19.9 MB). In most cases, the AP coordinator can order materials for students testing with accommodations online at the same time that they place an order for standard exams.
-
Create and Generate the Nonstandard Administration Report (NAR).
A Nonstandard Administration Report is only required for paper AP Exams and the AP Chinese and AP Japanese Language and Culture Exams. A NAR isn’t needed for the digital AP Exams (fully digital or hybrid digital). Go to AP Registration and Ordering to access and generate the NAR.
SSD coordinators can get an administrator access code from their AP coordinator so they can access AP Registration and Ordering.
