Breaks

Extra Breaks

Students approved for extra breaks will receive an exam with an extra five-minute break applied midway through each section. 

Extended Breaks 

Students approved for extended breaks will receive an exam with twice the time of the regularly scheduled break applied between Section I and Section II of the exam.  

Extra and Extended Breaks 

Students approved for extra and extended breaks will receive an exam with twice the time of regularly scheduled and extra breaks applied.   

Breaks as Needed 

Students approved for breaks as needed will receive an exam that allows them to pause their exam to take breaks as needed. The pause feature is below the timer. Important: For hybrid digital AP Exams, even though students write responses in a paper free-response booklet during Section II, they still need to pause their exam in the Bluebook testing app to take a break.
