You’re almost ready for your upcoming digital AP Exam.
In a minute, we’ll finish configuring this device. Be sure to use this device on test day.
And if you’re taking more than one digital AP Exam this year, you’ll need to complete exam setup for each subject.
Launch the app 30 minutes before you start so we can check you in. You’ll review some privacy policies, type a security statement, and get ready to test.
If your exam requires a calculator, you will use your own. And if you’re testing from home, bring scratch paper and a pencil or pen.
Right before the exam starts, the app will lock your device and you won’t be able to run any other applications.
An internet connection is required to test, but the app will keep running even if your connection drops momentarily.
Most AP Exams are a combination of multiple-choice and free-response questions. To keep digital testing secure, you won’t be able to move back and forth between questions or return to questions you’ve already answered.
On multiple-choice questions, your score is based on the number of questions you answer correctly. Remember: There’s no penalty for guessing.
On each question, you’ll have access to a tool bar. You can annotate questions, zoom in and out, and on STEM exams, you’ll have access to commonly used formulas. If you run into problems, click on Help.
Between exam sections, you’ll get a short break.
On the free-response questions, you’ll type directly into the app, and your work will be saved to your device automatically. Any special characters you need are part of the app.
When the exam is over, your answer will be submitted automatically. If your device is offline, you’ll have time to reconnect and submit your work.
We’re excited that you’re taking a digital AP Exam this year.
