College Board: SAT EXAMS

SAT EXAMS ARE FULLY DIGITAL:

You’ve probably already heard that College Board has made the SAT digital.

BLUEBOOK APPLICATION:

The College Board “Bluebook Application” is a testing application from the College Board. Students use the Bluebook Application to take the digital SAT as well as for other digital College Board Exams like the PSAT & AP exams.

The Bluebook Application has been installed on all MHS Student Chromebooks for students. The Bluebook App will set the Chromebook into Kiosk mode for the exam. The Bluebook App should be accessed PRIOR to logging into your Chromebook with your email and password at the initial login screen. Once the Chromebook has been powered on and WiFi connectivity has been established, click on "Apps"at the bottom left hand of the screen (next to “Shut Down”) and the student will be able to select "Bluebook". Once the Bluebook app has entered Kiosk mode, students will then be asked to sign in with a ticket or a College Board Account. We recommend that students try this on their Chromebooks prior to going to their SAT exam if they will be using their MHS Chromebook Device.
