How to Get Ready for Exam Day
AP coordinators should follow these steps throughout the school year to prepare for digital AP Exams.
Instructions
-
Download the Bluebook testing app and try a test preview.
Students and teachers should download Bluebook and sign in with their College Board accounts to explore sample AP Exam questions and try out the testing tools.
-
Plan your exam administration.
Identify proctors, secure exam rooms and supplies, review digital exam accommodations, and communicate logistical details to staff and students.
-
Confirm your school’s technical readiness plan.
Work with IT staff to check network speed and strength in exam rooms, configure the network, and confirm when Bluebook will be installed on managed testing devices.
-
Train your proctors.
Share with proctors the AP Proctor Exam Day Guide and other available resources to walk proctors through exam day logistics and testing procedures.
-
Identify one or more technology monitors.
Technology monitors are on-site during the exam to help students resolve simple technical issues. No technical expertise is required.
-
Set up Test Day Toolkit.
Once you have access to Test Day Toolkit in the spring, sign in, create rooms, assign staff to roles and rooms, and optionally, assign students to rooms.
