DIGITAL E

All students taking digital AP Exams need to complete FOUR steps to get ready to test

Students shouldn't share devices for testing.

Students should use the same device for exam setup through the conclusion of their digital exams

Step 1 | Now | Download and Install the Digital Testing App and Log In

• The digital testing application is now available for AP students at cb.org/ap2021examapp.

• Students should follow the directions on the download page to install the app on their testing computer.

• If you are using an IUSD owned chromebook, the testing app will be automatically installed. If you do not see it by May 1st, try to restart your device. If you still do not see it, email Thomas Trinh at thomastrinh@iusd.org.

• If you are using your own device, it must be a windows or mac, no personal chromebooks.

• Select APPS at the bottom left and then select 2021 Digital AP Exams.

STEP 2 | AS SOON AS POSSIBLE | PRACTICE WITH EXAMPLE QUESTIONS IN THE DIGITAL TESTING APP

• Digital practice gives students the chance to practice with example questions in the same application they’ll use on exam day and confirm that their technology works as expected.

• We strongly recommend that all students taking digital exams complete digital practice.

STEP 3 | 1–3 DAYS BEFORE EXAM DAY | COMPLETE EXAM SETUP FOR EACH DIGITAL EXAM

For each digital AP Exam you take, students must complete the exam setup step in the digital testing app. This step loads their exam onto the computer they’re going to test with. Completing this step is required 1–3 days before each exam. Without taking this step for each exam, students will not be able to test.

• Exam setup opens 3 calendar days before the exam date and must be completed no later than the day before the exam.

• Exam setup must be done on the computer the student will use for testing.

• Once setup is completed, the computer can’t be shared with another student until the exam is over and responses have been submitted to the AP Program.

• A student who attempts to complete these steps on exam day puts their ability to test at risk. If the student is unable to complete all pre-exam steps and begin the check-in process before the official start time of the exam, the student won’t be permitted to test and will need to request a makeup exam.

STEP 4 | 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE EXAM | CHECK IN TO THE EXAM

On exam day, all students must check in 30 minutes before the official start time of the exams to complete final pre-exam checks. Please arrive to your test location at least 45 minutes early to allow time for check-in.

• Students can only check in on their testing computer, and can’t check in on multiple devices.

• If students don’t start check-in before the start time of the exam, they won’t be allowed to test and will have to request a makeup exam.

Once you have completed check-in, students will see a timer at the top of their screen counting down the time remaining until the start time of the exam. The exam will begin automatically.

Start Times: All students must understand that testing for digital exams starts at exactly 9:00am PST for the morning exams and 1:00pm PST for the afternoon exams.

• Digital exams for a specific subject start at the exact same time, worldwide.

• Please note that students will need to check in online 30 minutes before the official start time.

EXAM SECURITY: 2021 AP digital exams have been designed with security in mind, so students can take exams at home if they're unable to test at their school. Digital exams administered in school or at home will:

• Not allow students to return to answered questions or move back and forth between unanswered questions.

• Begin at the same time worldwide with synchronous section start times.

• Not include questions that can be answered with internet searches, textbooks, notes, study guides, or similar material.

• Include security features to prevent students from collaborating, accessing unauthorized aids, or attempting to have someone else test for them.

• Be reviewed with plagiarism detection software and other monitors and post-exam analyses for detecting exam violations.

• Obtaining improper access to the exam

• Looking or working on the incorrect section
