What about issues with connectivity or battery life?  

If the internet disconnects during testing, students will still be able to progress through the exam with no disruption. And if a student’s computer runs out of battery, they can simply plug in, restart their device, and pick up where they left off—all their work will be saved, and they won’t lose testing time. However, with the back-to-back morning and afternoon nature of AP Exam scheduling, schools should have a power plan—either plugging in for testing or recharging between testing periods or ensuring that devices can be connected to power strips during testing sessions, if needed.
