Extended Time

Learn about extended time accommodations for digital AP Exams.

2025-26 AP Accommodations Guide

The 2025-26 AP Accommodations Guide will be released in December. Step-by-step instructions for managing accommodations are available at SSD Online for Coordinators.

Students will receive their approved amount of extended time within the digital AP Exam. Extended time will be applied per section and/or part of the exam based on the student’s specific approval. Students taking digital AP Exams who are approved for extended time will have the optional ability in the Bluebook testing app to move to the next section or end testing before their full amount of extended time expires.  

Important Notes:  

  • Standard testing time must be completed.  
  • Once the exam begins, only the student can choose to move forward, and they’ll do so directly through Bluebook during the exam. 
  • If a student wants to move forward before their full extended time expires, they won’t be able to return to view, change, or submit answers.  
  • Students should be encouraged to use as much time of their extended time as they need, and AP coordinators and proctors should still be prepared for students to use their full, approved testing time.
