* As a result of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the College Board announced that AP exams may be taken from home. The exams are modified to only cover approximately the first 75% of the course. For most exams, the exam is 45 minutes long and consists of one or two free-response questions that can be submitted typed or handwritten. The exams are open note, open book, and open Internet.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Watanabe|first=Teresa|date=2020-03-18|title=How will students take AP tests with schools closed?
