  College Board is investigating more AP exams at Lake Nona
  There may be more problems with AP testing at Lake Nona High.
  The College Board said Thursday it is investigating three Advanced Placement exams taken by 140 to 150 Lake Nona High School students. The probe comes a week after Lake Nona students had to retake the AP Psychology test because they were sitting too close together the first time.
  The College Board, which administers the AP exams, is investigating the chemistry, environmental science and physics exams at Lake Nona, said Orange County school district spokeswoman Shari Bobinski.
  It is unclear whether students will have to retake the exams.
  "These investigations spun-off of the investigation involving the AP Psychology exam situation," Bobinski wrote in an email Thursday.
  In that instance, the College Board ruled students were sitting 4 feet from each other during the psychology exam, compared with the required 5 feet. As a result, 114 of the 150 students who took the first exam had to retake it.
  Officials from the College Board reviewed photos of the rooms and interviewed administrators after receiving a tip that students were sitting too close together during that exam, which students took earlier this month at Valencia College.
  On Thursday, Bobinski wrote that students might have been sitting too close to each other during the exams for three other subject areas, although they weren't administered in the same room as the psychology exam.
  School administrators have spoken individually to parents whose children might be affected, Bobinski wrote. She said the district doesn't know what will happen if the exams are invalidated.
  "We are waiting on the College Board's decision on how to proceed," she wrote.
  No one at Lake Nona would comment.
  Zach Goldberg, a spokesman for the College Board, confirmed on Thursday that additional exams at Lake Nona "have been affected,"
  "We're currently working with Lake Nona High School officials to determine next steps," he said.
  This school year, Lake Nona reported 975 students enrolled in AP classes.The courses and exams are intended to simulate an introductory college-level course. Students who score well on the exams can earn college credit in nearly three dozen subject areas.
  The College Board has invalidated other tests for seating problems, although it's rare. In 2013, for example, more than 200 students at a high school in the San Francisco Bay area had their exams invalidated because of "seating irregularities," according to published reports.
  This the first year Lake Nona students have taken AP exams at the Valencia campus next to their school, Carol Traynor, a spokeswoman for the college, wrote in an email. The college does not proctor the exams.
  "We provided the classroom space set up as it normally would be for our classes," Traynor wrote. "We did not have a hand in designing special seating arrangements."
