If you would like to decline testing for your student, please complete the Decline Testing Form by April 2nd. Please note, students in American Literature & Composition and United States History are not required to to take the GMAS since they are enrolled in the AP course. For more information, please contact your student's grade level chair. 
  *If you decline testing for your student, a zero will NOT appear on the transcript.
