Could someone please give the address of the people who prepare these tests.

The committee of College and High School Science teachers along with

supervised by ETS (Educational Testing Service, Princeton or is it Iowa?).
You can order packets of information from:

Advanced Placement Program
P.O. Box 6670
Princeton, N.J. 08541-6670

Hope that helps.

I just returned from a presentation on advanced placement given by
Paul Williamson who speaks for the Southwestern Region, working from Austin.

He stressed the point that Ed Testing Service is a subcontractor of the
College Board
which latter is responsible for the Advanced placement program (since about
1955?)

There's an interesting overhead on the effect of AP classes on student
academic outcomes, where subjects are matched for other variables.

There are six regional offices, a Canadian contact, and a national office,
all of which have email addresses.
