The Digital Testing Experience
Students should expect a new experience when they take a digital AP Exam. It’s not just about clicking instead of bubbling, it’s about a more self-directed exam day.
Students should be ready to:
- Sign in to Bluebook with their College Board account.
- Read most instructions on their device—students will only hear a few instructions from their proctor before they start testing.
- Take their break (if applicable) when Bluebook notifies them to.
- Use digital equivalents of the accommodations they use on paper exams.
Try a Test Preview in Bluebook
Students are encouraged to try a test preview in the Bluebook testing app.
As soon as Bluebook is downloaded to a student’s device, and they have signed in with their College Board account, they should explore sample AP Exam questions and get familiar with the testing tools in the app.
Test previews are not timed or scored, and students won’t receive feedback on their answers.
