AP Testing Do’s & Don’ts

Two Ways to Practice for your AP exam

Bluebook APP

Test Previews

A test preview is a short set of questions that lets you experience digital testing and try out all the tools. You won’t receive scores or any feedback on your answers.

Test previews are untimed. On test day, a timer will be running.

You may use assistive technology with a test preview. If you’re approved for extra time or breaks, you’ll get them on test day but not in the test preview. If you configure your assistive technology settings during a test preview, you may need to repeat this step on test day.

How to Access the Bluebook App on Your Chromebook

1️⃣ Sign Out – If you're currently logged in, sign out of your Chromebook.
2️⃣ Open the App Tray – Click on the app launcher (bottom left)
3️⃣ Select Bluebook – Find and click on the Bluebook app to open it.

AP Classroom

Full-Length Practice Tests

Full-length practice tests are available in Bluebook for the AP Exams, go to AP Classroom once your teacher has assigned the practice test.

Full-length practice tests are timed like real tests, except you can move forward from one section to the next before time expires.

If you test with accommodations, you can select your accommodation when setting up the practice test and see how it will work on test day. If you configure your assistive technology settings during a practice test, you may need to repeat this step on test day.

Full-length practice tests are scored. After you complete a practice test in Bluebook, your scores will be available on My Practice.
