Leveling Down Pre-AP AP

  • Level down forms may be obtained from the testing coordinators beginning 9/6, however students are not to be leveled down until the end of the 1st 6 weeks (9/23). 

  • All level down forms must be signed by the parent, student and teacher. 

  • Counselors can not level a student down unless signed off by Mrs. Lair on the form to ensure accuracy of our exam order.

  • If a student doesn’t level down at the first 6 weeks, the next available time frame to level down will be at the end of 1st semester.

Steps for students to follow if they wish to level down:

  1. Speak with their AP teacher about their concerns.

  2. Obtain a form from the testing office beginning 9/6.

  3. Have parents & teacher sign the form.

  4. Return the form to me prior to 9/23.

  5. I sign off, cancel the exam order & give the form to the AMAZING counseling team for a schedule change beginning 2nd 6 weeks.
