Students can take an AP Exam with their approved accommodations, whether they’re taking a fully digital or hybrid digital AP Exam or an AP Exam not in Bluebook. The accommodation may be provided differently depending on the mode of testing.
To take an AP Exam with accommodations, a student must be approved by the College Board Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office. Providing accommodations to students without College Board approval will result in cancellation of these students' scores.
