Today, I took my AP US History exam. For some reason, my school let the school nurse proctor the exam. She read the instructions for the wrong test and told us to seal up our tests, despite having another section left in that book. She wouldn't listen to us when we tried to tell her. FML

soccerswim20 tells us more.

Yes, we did all get to retake the exam. Our principal called the College Board and told them what happened, and they said we could either skip the section in the now sealed book wait until the next testing date. We decided to wait and took a different version of the test. And the second time our school counselor proctored so there were no problems! So moral of the story, if something the test proctor is telling you seems wrong, SPEAK UP.

Tell the teacher and maybe you'll get to take it again. If everyone's missing the same section, something is obviously wrong.

Contact the office of testing security and integrity, the number is in your ap booklet and on the college board website!

This sounds like something my school would do one day

Something similar happened to me during my AP Euro Exam last year. The proctor called the time early and we got 15 or so minutes less on our essay portion. During the summer we got a letter from College Board saying that we could have it graded as is, discard our scores and get a refund, not have the essays count towards our score, or retake the test next year. If the tests were taken away and you haven't heard anything from College Board then something similar will probably happen to you and your school.

Last year our college advisor proctored the AP Literature exam (the longest and most stressful AP exam at our school) and she mistakenly called time 10 minutes later than she was supposed to and everybody had to retake the entire test because of her. She was later fired but you would think a college advisor would be a decent option for proctoring an exam compared to a nurse, but obviously that wasn't the case.

Indiana still continues to disappoint me.

Wait, I took that test and there were only two sections, each in different booklets, and you can only seal one booklet at a time. How the **** did you entire group miss a section, that doesn't make any sense.
