If you are sick on the day of your AP exam, here are the steps and options available:

• Notify the AP exam proctor or your school's AP Coordinator immediately if you feel unwell during the exam or before it starts. Your health is the priority, and they will guide you on what to do next

• If you start the exam but cannot finish due to illness, you may qualify for a late testing date without additional fees. The College Board typically offers a late testing window a few weeks after the regular exam dates for such cases

• If you are too sick to take the exam at all on the scheduled day, contact your AP Coordinator as soon as possible. You will likely need to provide a doctor's note or other documentation confirming your illness to qualify for late testing

• Late testing is generally only approved for serious illness or emergencies , such as a serious injury, family tragedy, or significant illness. The decision to allow a make-up exam is made by your school’s AP Coordinator in coordination with the College Board

• If you miss the exam without notifying your school or without proper documentation, you may not be allowed to take a make-up exam

• During the exam, if you are sick but still taking it, bring items like cough drops, tissues, and stay calm. Adrenaline can help you get through the test

In summary, if you are sick on AP exam day, communicate promptly with your AP Coordinator, provide necessary medical documentation, and you may be able to take the exam during the College Board's late testing window without extra fees. If you feel well enough, try to take the exam as scheduled, but do not hesitate to seek a make-up if your illness is severe
