We have some students who take two exams on the same day. How can we ensure their device won’t run out of power during the exam?

There are a variety of approaches to ensure that students taking two digital AP Exams on the same device on the same day can test successfully. Once you’ve confirmed with technology staff that the fully charged device is unlikely to last through two digital AP Exams, consider the following:  

• Seat the student where their device can be plugged in during the morning exam.  
• Provide the student with a power bank or external laptop battery.  
• Start the morning exam at the beginning of the start window (as close to 8 a.m. as possible) and start the afternoon exam at the end of the start window (as close to 1 p.m. as possible) to allow time to charge the device between exams. 

If these options aren’t feasible, consider providing the student with another device for their afternoon exam, or have the student take one of the exams on the late-testing date instead.
