To Note:
Digital exams administered at home or in school 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.
Include security features to prevent students from collaborating, accessing unauthorized aids, or attempting to have someone else test for them.
Textbooks and notes are not permitted for digital exams. To prevent students from an unfair advantage, digital exams will:
Not include questions that can be answered with internet searches, textbooks, notes, study guides, or similar material.
Be reviewed with plagiarism detection software.
Be reviewed with post-exam analyses to identify collaboration or use of unauthorized aids.
Length: Digital AP Exams are full-length exams; they test the same knowledge and skills as paper and pencil exams; most have multiple-choice and free-response sections.
Start times: Digital exams have synchronous start times, worldwide at 12pm or 4pm. (See schedule for all paper + digital exam dates/times.)
[Important: The official start time is the moment students taking a given exam can begin seeing and answering questions. However, all students are required to check in to their digital exam 30 minutes before the official start time to complete final pre-exam steps. If a student hasn’t started the check-in process before the official start time of the exam, the digital testing application will not permit them to test, and the student will need to request a makeup exam.]
Devices: Exams must be taken on school-managed Chromebooks.
Internet: An internet connection is required, but students will be able to continue testing even if their connection drops momentarily.
Practice: Students are able to access the digital testing application and practice with each type of multiple-choice and free-response question students will see on exam day. Digital exam practice will also confirm students’ technology and let students practice using the tools and features in the digital testing application. We encourage you to access the practice application NOW to make sure you feel comfortable & confident with the format! There are two ways to practice:
Digital Practice: Longer option students can use to fully explore the digital testing application. Includes all varieties of questions students will see on exam day. After practice, students can download their responses and an answer key and scoring guidelines.
App Demo: Shorter option that students can use to quickly confirm that the application is correctly installed, that questions display appropriately, and that they can enter answers. For most subjects, the Exam App Demo questions are a subset of the questions on the Digital Practice.
