WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Starting Wednesday, Florida students will have access to free, live Advanced Placement review lessons conducted by AP teachers from across the country.
The state said the optional, mobile-friendly classes are designed to be used alongside work that may be given by schools.
“I applaud the College Board for finding innovative ways for students to complete their Advanced Placement Courses,” said Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran said in a written statement. “It is vitally important that students continue learning while their school campus is closed.”
For the 2019-20 AP Exam, the College Board is developing secure 45-minute online exams for each course.
The state said the digital exams will not require any test-booklet shipments, external proctors or any additional workload for schools.
The exam content will focus on what schools were able to complete by early March.
Students can take the exam on any device they have access to –- computer, tablet or smartphone. The state said other options may be available by contacting the College Board.
