yvonne Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I am practically in tears. My oldest boys were signed up for the AP Eng Lit exam at our public high school. The AP booklet says it starts at 8am. We were there by 7:40. The SCHOOL starts all the paperwork at 7:15, apparently, and would not let my kids in because they were late for the paperwork. :( :( It's my fault..... I should have STAYED for at least 30 mins to make sure all was ok. One of the boys took an exam on Monday afternoon, and everything was fine. AND they were explicitly told no cell phones, so the boys didn't call. Just went to the office. Were told nothing could be done. (Even though the test hadn't actually started at that point :((( ) It's also my fault bec. the school also included a page w/ what I thought was a reiteration of the CB directions & schedule. On that page, it did say they'd start at 7:15. Ok. Now I am in tears. All that work. The possibility of a stellar AP score on their college app. I am so sad (ETA typo--exam started at 8 not noon!)

mirabillis Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Oh no! I'm feeling near tears reading about it. I am so sorry! They make the AP testing process so incredibly difficult for homeschoolers, all around. Can they take a late test? Isn't that possible??? Big hugs to you! It is NOT your fault. If anything, it's the public schools so difficult for homeschoolers. Try and see if you can take it late!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hugs. It's not your fault. Take a deep breath. There are situations in which late exams are allowed, some with a fee. I do not know if you fall into this category. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thank you for the gentle words. The public school says there is no way they can take the late exam bec. they did not have a medical emergency and bec there was not a facilities issue which prevented them from taking the exam.I am so so sad. One of my boys just came in & gave me a long hug & told me it wasn't my fault. But it was. If I can't even get the time for an exam right, how can I possibly think I can do all the paperwork for their college applications. :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Ask the school now for late testing. I'm so sorry the school was so rigid. "Late testing: with fees* A $45 fee will be charged for schools and students that have a choice between accepting the scheduled date and requesting an alternate date. The fee is used to partially defray costs of developing, scoring, and shipping these alternate exams. Here are some of those examples: Academic contest/event Athletic contest/event Conflict with non-AP and non-IB exam Family commitment Ordering error Other school event School closing (local decision, non-emergency)" http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/ap_coordinators/exam_ordering_fees/232008.html ETA: If the school won't, try asking the private center my kids took their AP exams at since it is near your home.

yvonne Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 I just emailed a local home school/independent learning center where my boys took the AP Latin exam last year to see if there's any way they could take the late exam. Also going to email Maya to see if she thinks I should try to get them into an AP Lang Comp exam or just wait till next year. Oh, my.

freesia Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm so sorry. Something always goes wrong for us at the local school--but it's always ended up okay. There are so many threads to keep track of in the homeschool life that it is so easy for something to be missed. I wish there was a way to take the APs that was easier for homeschoolers. It is crazy that it is so hard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completing the paperwork usually takes a grand total of 20 minutes max. It is sickening that this school would not let your kids fill out the paperwork when they arrived. It wasn't like they were late for the actual exam! This year, my son wasn't able to meet the scheduled time that the school had set for the kids to fill out the paperwork.

MorningGlory Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Oh, Yvonne. My heart has dropped down in my stomach for you, and I feel beads of sweat popping out on my forehead! I am so, so, so sorry. I know there is nothing I can say that will make you feel better, but please know that I will be praying and hoping that a positive solution is found. I was just having a conversation with my husband last night about how complex our lives have become. Not necessarily physically hard (but definitely long and tiring days). We wondered how much more complexity the human person can handle. This is a topic for another thread, I know, but your situation definitely reminds me of it. ((((((Many Hugs))))))))), and please if there is anything I can help you with concerning that precious daughter of yours, let me know. I certainly don't want my course to be a source of any added stress for you all. :-) Jetta 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 that stinks!!! Can they take the CLEP so they can earn credit? This is what I was going to suggest as well. At least all would not be lost in that case. Yvonne, don't be too hard on yourself. Mistakes happen, and your kids are going to learn valuable life skills by watching how you handle this disappointment and watching how you move forward from this point . Sometimes we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and continue on with Plan B, kwim? I'm sorry. This is such a blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connections Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm so sorry. You are obviously doing things right despite how you feel right now.

J-rap Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I'm so sorry. It seems like there should be make-up dates available. There would be many reasons why the main testing date might not work out. Okay, I just checked their website, and it lists make-up dates. It says that if you missed the first date because of an emergency, you don't have to pay the fee. Otherwise, you need to pay the make-up fee of $45. That makes me think you could do it. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/ap_coordinators/exam_ordering_fees/232008.html Here is the late-testing schedule: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/exam/dates_fees/232552.html It seems like you'd just need to find a school that offers the make-up dates. According to this, you need to find a school that allows outsiders to come in. You can probably contact the AP office to find out where that might be possible in your area or your part of the state. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/ap_coordinators/exam_ordering_fees/ordering_materials/232006.html Good luck!

The gatekeeper is being rigid. But you know what? My one son's Mon AP exam was supposed to start at noon, per the CB packet. The school, who is being so rigid about kids being there for the school's 7:15 paperwork filling out, and who said that their hands are tied bec the CB sets a hard start time for the exam, actually told the students that they would start the Mon AP exam at 12:15 instead of noon. And that wasn't to start the exam itself, that was to start filling out the paperwork. My son said the exam did not start until a few minutes after 1:00. So.... seems that they're not being rigid w/ the CB rules (which should be rigid) but w/ what their own paperwork rules are. The kids were there in plenty of time to start the actual exam this am. Thank you for mentioning the SAT Lit exam!! The boys are actually planning to take that in Aug. & I had completely forgotten about that. (They have a nat'l debate tournament in June.) Can't think straight right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowbeltmom Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 You are truly, truly blessed to have a school that cares. :iagree: And every year I am reminded of this fact when I read the horror stories of other homeschoolers. My public school even administers AP exams for my kids when no one at the public school is taking the test! They don't even impose any type of proctoring fee. My son was unable to take one of his scheduled exams his junior year. I called the school to notify them of his absence. A few weeks later I received a refund check from the CB - the guidance counselor had submitted the paperwork on my behalf. I didn't even know that refunds were possible. OP, I hope your sons are able to take the test on the make-up day. I would also call the CB and see if they can put any pressure on this school to make that make-up happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely going to post a heads-up to double check the testing site's start time (not just the official CB exam time) next year. Yes, if anybody at the school had any compassion, they'd have made a little effort to at least check w/ the person giving the exam, maybe poke their head in and see if the students had started or if they were still filling out the forms, and let the boys take the exam if it had not yet started.

Sebastian (a lady) Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) The SAT Subject Test in literature is a great idea. At least it will give them a score in the subject. I can't tell if your boys are juniors this year or sophomores. Is there a possibility they could take the exam next year, if not for putting on college applications, at least to have the credit for course validation purposes? You may want to put a small mention of this in one of the documents you write as a counselor. Something like, "The AP English Literature course was completed during the 2016-17 school year, but due to scheduling conflicts, the students were unable to take the 2017 AP exam. Students intend to take the AP English Literature exam in 2018." ETA: This is a horrible situation and is just the sort of thing I dread happening. I'm so sorry that it happened to you and your kids.

But it was not your fault that they had some pretty odd rules (crazy actually, poor kids already have to wake up early with all that stress!). And kudos to your sons for comforting you. I am so touched that they did. You have good kids. You are an awesome, caring parent. I feel sorry for the people who let power get to their heads so much that they have to be unkind to prove themselves. Something definitely fishy there.

dirty ethel rackham Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I am so glad it worked out. It makes me thankful that we have not had too much difficulty. l had always heard our high school was hard to deal with. But it is the secretary to the person in charge who takes her "gatekeeper" job very seriously (like a serious ego trip) and makes it more difficult. Once I got through to the person in charge, she has been fabulous to deal with. She is now dd's counselor at the high school (she takes all the part-time students and special cases.) This person heard my distress about finding a place to test and how intimidating it could be and she got together with her cohort at the other high school and added a homeschool option to their automated AP sign up. As long as they offer the test, it is easy-peasy for in-district students. They try to work with us for other tests that they ordinarily don't offer. And they have been good about communicating the things that the kids hear about in school. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! there should be more of these "private test sites" or maybe CCs test centers stepping up since the public high school thing is such a crap shoot the CB could contact some of the CCs to see if they would be willing to host AP exam testing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
