  • AP Exam Technical Information

    TSD is working on a plan to support students that do not have the necessary technology at home to take an AP Exam.

    • Will there be a technology run-through before the test day? --- By the week of May 4, students will have access to a demo of the online exam experience at cb.org/ap2020. It will allow them to practice the different ways to submit responses and test that the exam will run on their device and browser on exam day.
    • AP Chinese, French, Japanese, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture students need to download an additional world language exam app to test (available the week of May 11). Before the exam, they can use the app’s practice mode to try out features, test their device, and preview the sound quality of audio recorded on their device. A video walkthrough for these exams will be available the week of May 4.
    • Can I use my smartphone for all my exams? --- Smartphones can be used for all exams. A student can use their smartphone to log in to their exam, view the questions and exam countdown timer, take a photo of their handwritten responses, and submit their responses. We encourage students to familiarize themselves with the different device and submission options before making a final decision about which device to use.
    • Do I need to download an application to take the exam? Can I test out the application before test day? --- A web browser application is needed to view the questions on your exam and to submit your response. If completing the exam on a laptop or tablet, a second application is needed to craft your responses to the exam questions. That second application can be any kind of word processing application, including but not limited to Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notes, or Notepad.
