I’m nervous about my school’s Wi-Fi. What if I lose internet connection during the exams? 

AP coordinators should work with technology staff before exam day to ensure that the network can support digital testing. The Network Readiness Checklist outlines the steps, including configuring the network to allow necessary traffic, testing network speed, and choosing testing rooms that can support the anticipated number of exam takers. 

Bluebook requires Wi-Fi for students to begin and submit the exam. However, if the internet disconnects during testing, students will still be able to progress through the exam without disruption. Students’ answers are encrypted and saved on the device’s hard drive.   

In case of a widespread internet outage for an extended period or another unforeseen issue that prevents automatic answer submission at the end of the exam, students will have up until 4 days after the exam to find an internet connection and submit their encrypted responses.
