THIS APP IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR AP CHINESE + AP JAPANESE LANGUAGE EXAMS.
The entire setup and administration guide is linked here for anyone to access.
YOU WILL WANT TO PRACTICE WITH THE APP BEFORE EXAM DAY!
Practice exam dates will be shared in early 2025.
DO NOT LOG IN
On your SDUSD Chromebook, go directly to "Apps" then select "ETS APCJ"
This becomes the secure testing portal where you cannot do anything but use the testing app until you exit (see the last photo on this page.)
Initializing App
This should not take long.
Six Digit School Code
Enter the school code for the school location you are testing at. After you submit, it will ask you to confirm that is the correct school.
Readiness Checks
Click "Run" next to "Calibration Settings" then follow the instructions.
Unify Audio Check
Click "Run" next to "Unify Audio Check" then follow the instructions. On Exam Day you will use headsets with a plugged in cord. You may use your own or ones we provide.
After the "Adjusting the Microphone Volume" there is a short delay before the "Start Recording" window pops up.
Launch Practice Exam
Select the exam and if you have approved accommodations, check the box "Use Accommodations" to practice with time or display adjustments.
You will then go through a practice exam including all sections - Listening and Reading, a short break, then Writing and Speaking. It is not scored - this is just to practice taking the exam in the digital format.
Everything is timed so if you don't see an option to move on, look for a clock in the top right corner to see when you can.
Notice the dropdown keyboard options on the writing portions as the default may not be your preference.
