Important AP Exam Testing Schedule and Information
Below, please find Important AP Exam Testing Schedule and Information for students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses at Newburgh Free Academy.
Location and Bussing: All Exams will be held at NFA Main Campus. Students should report to NFA Main Campus no later than 7:30am for morning Exams and 11:30am for afternoon exams. We cannot guarantee parking for students that do not go to the Main campus. Therefore a shuttle between buildings (North and West) will be provided. The bus driver will have a list of students who will be allowed on the bus. Students taking a morning exam will be shuttled back to their home campus at the end of completion of the AP Exam. Students taking an afternoon exam will utilize the late buses at NFA Main Campus to get home. The morning Shuttle will leave North and West at approximately 7:10am and arrive at Main Before 7:30am. The afternoon shuttle will leave the buildings at approximately 11:15am, and arrive at Main prior to 11:30am.
Once at NFA Main Campus, students will enter through the upper lobby where they will go through security and be sent into the auditorium until it is time to be released to their testing room.
Room Assignments: Students should check with their teacher to find out their testing room and seat number. We will also have this document hanging outside of our auditorium and our guidance office if students forget where to go on the day of the exam.
Breakfast and Lunch: Students should eat breakfast and lunch at their home school location. Any student who has a morning exam will be able to get lunch once they return back to their building. Any student with an afternoon exam should make arrangements at their school to eat lunch before getting on the shuttle to the main campus.
