The College Board website has more details about what materials to bring and rules regarding test-taking. Additionally, teachers will provide each class with information on what to do on test day and which rooms to go to to take the test. Students will be excused from their classes when taking the test, and parents can call the attendance office to be excused from classes before and after the test.
It is best to start studying early since there is a lot of material to cover. College Board classrooms have plenty of videos and practice tests to use to prepare.
Good luck to everyone taking an AP exam!
