During last week\u2019s online Advanced Placement (AP) exams, a wave of students<\/a> experienced technical issues that prevented them from being able to submit answers. So for this week\u2019s exams, the College Board announced it will be accepting submissions via email if students run into problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The College Board informed students by way of an email on Sunday and further explained the change through a post<\/a> on its website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis option will only be available for students who were not able to submit in the standard process \u2013 and they must then email their responses immediately following their Exam,\u201d the College Board\u2019s post states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who run into trouble submitting their AP exam response can see instructions on how to respond via email on a page that says \u201cWe Did Not Receive Your Response.\u201d The email address that shows up on that page will be unique to each student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change does not apply, however, to students who had trouble submitting answers last week or those taking World Language exams. For those students, their only option remains to retake their AP exam(s) in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo protect the security and validity of Exams, we\u2019re unable to accept submissions from students who tested May 11\u201315,\u201d the College Board\u2019s post states. \u201cHowever, these students can feel confident that the email option will be in place for them during the makeup Exams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event that this week\u2019s test-takers run into problems uploading and emailing their responses, they will also need to take a makeup test in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waiting until June for a makeup test, however, is less than ideal, as students are not likely to retain all the information covered on their AP exam for a month and have to study and repeat the stressful test-taking process all over again. Some are asking<\/a> why students couldn\u2019t, instead, retake exams within a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there\u2019s no guarantee that students won\u2019t run into technical problems or have trouble emailing responses the second time around. In that case, the College Board says students will be reimbursed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf a student has a technical issue during the makeup exam or is unable to retest in June, the AP Program will waive all fees for that student\u2019s Exam,\u201d the College Board\u2019s post states. \u201cFees for these exams will be automatically removed from the invoice sent to schools. Students can contact their schools for information about refunds, if applicable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AP exams for students in the United States, U.S. territories and Canada start at $94. At international test sites outside of these countries, the exam fee is $124 per exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The College Board has stated that only 1-2 percent of last week\u2019s test-takers experienced technical problems, which is something it claims to have anticipated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the uproar on social media, led by students who experienced technical problems and their parents, suggests those percentages are off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven that more than 15% of my school ALONE had similar issues as me, waiting for the buffering of the submit button after successfully uploading pics\/all work, this statistic makes absolutely NO SENSE,\u201d one student tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another tweet<\/a> reads: \u201cI think your 1% is off by double digits. Good thing your work isn\u2019t being graded for college credit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
