** Make sure you go through the checklist
 
* Note that there will be 3 options to submit your responses to the exam: copy-paste, upload/attach a file, upload a handwritten image.  I believe that copy-paste will be the fastest, safest solution, so you'll want to practice typing your responses in a separate editor
 
* I highly '''discourage''' using repl.it as your editor for the AP exam. It relies on the internet and has periodic hiccups and delays.  Practice typing FRQs using another text editor or development environment that is on your computer (e.g. NetBeans, eclipse)
 
* The timing constraints are intentional such that spending time looking stuff up will likely hurt your response's completeness
