PSAT/SAT

Bluebook Device Requirements

The Bluebook app is required by the College Board for the administration of the PSAT, SAT, or any AP exam. The Bluebook app can be installed on Mac and Windows devices, iPads, and school-managed Chromebooks. You cannot install the Bluebook App on personal Chromebook devices.

Choosing Devices: If you’re deciding between device types, consider these key factors:

• Minimum battery life is 4 hours for AP Exams and 3 hours for SAT Suite of Assessments.

• Chromebooks must be school managed and run in kiosk mode.

• For Windows tablets, external keyboards are required for fully digital AP Exams and recommended for hybrid digital AP Exams. They’re strongly recommended for the SAT and PSAT-related assessments.

• For iPads, external keyboards are required for fully digital AP Exams and recommended for hybrid digital AP Exams. They’re allowed for the SAT and PSAT-related assessments.
  
  

Attention Windows Users: It is strongly recommended to upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft ended support of Windows 10 in October 2025. Starting in fall 2026, Bluebook won’t work on Windows 10.
