Generating a Nonstandard Administration Report (Only for AP Exams Not in Bluebook)

These instructions apply only to AP Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish Language and Culture, AP Spanish Literature and Culture, and AP Music Theory Exams.

How to Generate a Nonstandard Administration Report (NAR)

A NAR isn’t needed for the digital AP Exams (fully digital or hybrid digital). It’s only required for AP Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish Language and Culture, AP Spanish Literature and Culture, and AP Music Theory Exams. 

Following the instructions below, a NAR is generated by the AP coordinator or SSD coordinator through AP Registration and Ordering for each student testing with accommodations (including extended time) on an AP Exam that isn’t in Bluebook. Printed copies of the NARs must be provided to the proctor for each accommodated exam. Completed NARs must be kept on file at the testing school for six months. Don’t return NARs with exam materials. 

SSD coordinators can get an administrator code from their AP coordinator so they can access AP Registration and Ordering. A NAR can be generated for a student as long as they are taking an AP Exam that isn’t in Bluebook and have accommodations approved by the College Board Services for Students with Disabilities office.  

See below for details to generate single or multiple NARs at a time: 

Single NAR 

  • On the Students page, on the student roster, go to the Actions dropdown in the right column for that student’s exam.
  • Select Generate NAR from the dropdown list.  

If a student is taking more than one AP Exam that’s not in Bluebook with an accommodation, a NAR needs to be generated for each exam that student is taking. 

Multiple NARs 

  • On the Students page, select a course in the Courses filter. (NARs can only be generated one course at a time.)
  • Check the top check box at the top left of the roster to indicate all students.
  • Go to Actions at the top left of the roster.
  • Select Generate NAR from the dropdown list.  

Note: When you check the top check box for all students, AP Registration and Ordering will only generate the NAR for those students with accommodations.  

You can also check the boxes for specific students and then generate the NAR.
