AP CLASSROOM Frequently Asked Questions

Teachers can access AP Classroom resources by logging in with their College Board username and password. They must ensure they are registered to teach an AP course to gain access to the tools available, including the Question Bank and Progress Dashboard. If returning to teach after a break, they may need to submit a subject-specific AP Course Audit form for approval. Additionally, teachers can find support materials and training resources within the AP Classroom platform.

Personal Progress Checks are formative assessments designed to help AP students measure their understanding of course content throughout the year. They consist of multiple-choice questions and free-response questions, providing rationales for correct and incorrect answers. Teachers can assign these checks to assess student progress and identify areas needing improvement. By regularly utilizing Personal Progress Checks, students can better prepare for the AP exams and enhance their learning outcomes.

The Question Bank is an extensive online library containing over 15,000 real AP Exam questions. It allows teachers to create customized practice tests and assignments tailored to their students' needs. Teachers can filter questions by course topics and skills, ensuring that assessments align with the curriculum. This resource is vital for helping students prepare effectively for AP exams, as it includes both formative and summative question types.

The LockDown browser is a secure browser that restricts student access to other applications and websites during online assessments. It is required for administering multiple-choice questions from secure practice exams to ensure the integrity of the testing environment. However, for free-response questions, students can complete these assessments without the LockDown browser, allowing for more flexibility in how they submit their responses.
