A student is taking an ATC-format AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) Exam at our school. How will the Personalized Project Reference needed for Section II be provided? 

Students will need to have their printed Personalized Project Reference (PPR), which the AP coordinator prints before exam day and gives to the proctor. If a student is using zoom/screen magnification, there's the option for them to use a second computer to view their PPR. 

If the student is taking the ATC-format exam using zoom/screen magnification:  

• The student can use a printed copy of the PPR, printed at a size large enough to meet the student’s need.   

OR

• The PPR may be downloaded onto a second computer by the AP coordinator before the exam, which the student can use only during Section II of the exam with the screen magnification software. The computer used for this purpose must be school-owned and -controlled; a student may not use their own or a family member’s computer. The computer must be disconnected from any networks and the internet. 

If the student is taking the ATC-format exam with a screen reader, the student will need a printed copy of their PPR and will need to be assisted by a human reader only during Section II of the exam.  

An accommodations request needs to be submitted through SSD Online for any student who needs to be assisted by a human reader during Section II of the exam and who does not already have an approval for a human reader on record with the College Board SSD Office.   

Any student testing with a human reader will need to be tested in a 1:1 setting for the entire exam, even though the human reader will assist the student only during Section II.
