The College Board had previously announced it would be using “digital security tools to detect plagiarism,” a nebulous description that some interpreted to mean this alleged sting. The account was created at the beginning of April, just a few weeks before the subreddit’s debut, and spoke in a lexicon that read more how do you do, fellow kids than, well, “How do you do, fellow kids.” On several social platforms, a theory began brewing: Dinosauce313 was actually a College Board employee setting a honey trap to catch would-be cheaters and disqualify them. Some things about Dinosauce313 didn’t strike other Redditors, namely real high-schoolers preparing for their exams, quite right.

So Dinosauce313’s proposed efforts would be grounds for consequences, should any students get caught participating in a collective testing scheme. What is not kosher, however, is conferring with another person during the exam.

The College Board, the organization that administers the exams, says wasting time doing so will not ultimately be beneficial given the way the truncated tests are written. Using class notes, or even Googling during the test, is kosher.

Students are taking modified, shorter versions of the traditional tests, and this year’s iterations are open-book.

Its stated purpose? “A community of students taking the 2020 AP Exams and wanting to use online resources while doing so.” As a result of coronavirus, all AP testing has moved online this year. On May 10, just a few days before Advanced Placement tests were scheduled to begin for high-schoolers around the world, a Reddit user, Dinosauce313, created a new subreddit, APTests2020.
