After widespread technological glitches prevented scores of students from submitting online AP tests last week, the College Board has rolled out a new safeguard, allowing them to send their completed exams by email beginning Monday.

That response, however, is small comfort to Theo Detweiler, a senior at Malibu High School. Before the AP calculus test last Tuesday, he made sure his technology was updated, practiced the demo exam twice and successfully uploaded his practice work via his phone. But when he tried to do the same thing during the real test, he said, he kept getting an error message.

On Monday, he took the AP environmental science exam with no problems but remained annoyed that the email fix came too late to help him with his calculus test, which he will have to retake next month.“I’m glad they’re doing this, but it would have been more helpful last week,” he said. His mother, Stephanie Gold, was upset that the College Board had allowed the tests to go forward last week despite the problems and then, in her view, blamed students for them.Advertisement
