preparation. Teachers are permitted to download the materials and

To maintain the security of this exam, teachers should collect all
materials after their administration and keep them in a secure location.

electronically redistributed for any reason. Further distribution of
these materials outside of the secure College Board site disadvantages
teachers who rely on uncirculated questions for classroom testing.

If you are giving the regularly scheduled AP Calculus AB or BC Exam:
• You may seat students four feet (approximately 1.2 meters) apart because these
exams have scrambled multiple-choice sections . This allows you to test more students
in fewer testing rooms .
• See page 10 for a sample seating plan, including form codes and serial numbers, that
shows how exams should be distributed to ensure that students seated next to each
other are not given the same form of the exam .
• Administrators and proctors must continue to be vigilant about opportunities
for cheating .
If you are giving the alternate AP Calculus AB or BC Exam for late testing:
• You must seat students no less than five feet (approximately 1.5 meters) apart because
these exams do not have scrambled multiple-choice sections .
Graphing calculators are required to answer some of the questions on the AP Calculus Exams .
Before starting the exam administration, make sure each student has a graphing calculator
from the approved list on page 45 of the 2013-14 AP Coordinator’s Manual . If a student does not
have a graphing calculator from the approved list, you may provide one from your supply . If the
student does not want to use the calculator you provide or does not want to use a calculator at
all, he or she must hand copy, date, and sign the release statement on page 43 of the 2013-14
