All backpacks, coats, cell phones, and other personal belongings are not allowed in the testing room. These items must be secured in lockers before reporting to testing rooms.
Note that Performing Arts classes are still scheduled for the day. After the exam, you will have time to take lunch and then report to PA classes. (The small number of students that have been allowed extra time by the College Board will be excused for lateness to PA Classes.)
