EXAM FORMATS FOR 2027 AP EXAMS
The College Board utilizes two formats for their exams-digital or hybrid
Digital: Students log into the College Board's bluebook app on their school chromebook and complete the exam for both multiple choice and open responses. The software tracks the alloted time and saves answers until students are ready to submit.
Hybrid: The exam starts with a digital multiple choice section. Students log into the College Board's bluebook app on their school chromebook and complete the questions. The second part of the exam will provide the open response questions in bluebook and students will handwrite their answers in a paper booklet.
Recordings: World languages and Music Theory exams include listening and recorded components. Each of this will be embedded within the College Board Bluebook app.
Each exam has a different number of multiple choice questions and formats for open responses (FRQ, DBQ), and sometimes a project that is completed by the spring. Please check the requirements on the College Board Website by clicking on the course and then the exam
