Libertyville High School's AP Policy

The majority of the 2026 Exams that AP offers will be delivered digitally (fully digital or hybrid digital). Fully digital exams are taken through Bluebook on our students' school-issued Chromebooks. For Hybrid digital exams, students complete the multiple-choice questions and view free-response questions in Bluebook. They handwrite their free-response answers in paper exam booklets that are returned to the College Board for scoring. Some exams are not delivered through Bluebook and are paper exams. They have either audio components or consist solely of portfolio assessments. Following is a list of courses and exams offered at LHS, along with their delivery method:
