(First Online Exam Date)

The second and third administrations of the AP Euro exam will be administered in a digital format, which will be offered both in proctored settings at schools and at home (the setting will be determined by your school's AP coordinator). Due to test security concerns, the digital exam WILL NOT include a Long Essay Question (LEQ), which will be replaced by two additional Short-Answer Questions (SAQs). The multiple choice and Document-Based Question (DBQ) will appear in the same format as the standard exam, but the SAQ section will be slightly different. 

Wednesday, June 2 @ 12 PM EDT
(Second Online Exam Date)
