FAQ

My testing computers already have the AP Chinese and AP Japanese exam application installed from last year. Do I need to reinstall?

Depending on your testing devices, yes, you may need to reinstall the exam application again this year.  

For Chromebooks:  

  • Chrome OS version 90 or higher is required.
  • For Chromebook testing computers that already have the exam application installed from 2025, you don’t need to reinstall. The exam application will automatically update when you first launch it to run readiness checks in 2026. 
  • If Chromebooks used for testing still have the “ETS APCJ” Chromebook application from 2024 or earlier, it must be uninstalled and the new Chromebook application must be installed.

For Windows:  

  • Windows 11 or higher is required. 
  • If any Windows testing computers used for the 2025 AP Exams have since been upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall the exam application.

For Macs:   

  • macOS 11 or higher is required.
  • If any Mac testing computers used for the 2025 AP Exams have since been upgraded from macOS 10.7+ to macOS 11, you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall the exam application.
