2.考试范围缩小；

3.各大学支持该做法，不影响未来用AP抵换学分；

4.学生可以通过电脑、平板、智能手机考试，手写拍照亦可；

5.官方承诺会帮助低收入和乡村学生获得必要考试设备；

6.将使用各种技术防止作弊。

考试形式变动

首先在确定了考试不会取消后，CB官方宣布线下面对面考试将不会进行，考试改为线上考，时间缩短为45分钟。

从以上的删减内容我们可以看出，从内容上来说，明显是少了一些，但其难度是否降低尚未可知；即便难度降低，从CollegeBoard考核学科能力来看，推算Curve的要求可能会更严格，正确率的标准会更高。

因此，面对坚挺硬核的AP考试，我们该做的就是复习好每一步，合理安排时间，做好充分地准备。

FRQ具体详情

在官宣的详情中，大家较为关心的当属Free Response Question问题了，CB也考虑到这一问题，官方指出，剩下的内容包括具体的Schedule和FRQ types诸如此类的考试细节，都将会在4月3日之前更新，让大家对于考试有所准备。

关于作弊问题

关于这个问题，CB在说明中表示，题目是提前设计好的，意思是尽可能保证在试题设计上不出现作弊的可能，除此之外还会使用一系列包括抄袭检测软件等技术来保证考试的公平公正。

总之是会秉承公正公平的原则，避免一些可能出现的作弊情况。其实这样不是AP次在家线上考试了，CB也有提到AP计算机科学原理和AP Capstone课程考试作为AP的一部分，已经多次给家庭考试打分。

官方有着充足的经验来解决作弊的问题，所以希望同学们端正考试态度认真备考，不要动歪脑筋。

不过即使有这样的说明和表态，但由于CB并没有给出具体的细节，很多同学还是对本次考试的公平性持怀疑态度，至于具体该如何操作，我们现在只能脑补一下，还是等到4月3日看CB宣布的更多细节吧！

考试免费取消

为确定今年AP是否如期举行，CB考查了18000名考生的意见，只有9%左右的考生希望取消本次考试，最终决定考试不取消。

但对于那些想取消考试的同学，可以等到考试临近日期的时候再决定，因为CB官方也有提到考试是可以随时免费取消的。

为了更好地应对此次AP考试的变化，CB也为大家贴心地开放了部分免费课程。而中国考区是否也适用于这一CB官宣的在家考方式，经过多方确认，得到的最终确认结果是：

CB官方人员确认全球考生无论是否是国际学校考生来自哪里将都可以进行有效的在家考试。

所以，当下最该做的还是要继续认真复习，面对考试范围缩小，竞争加强的情况，更要有着完整系统的复习计划，才能保证自己拿到优异的成绩。
