Testing app has been pushed out to all devices belonging to the county. To find it look in the app's menu located in the lower left of the login screen. (Do not login, the test will not function if a user is logged into the chrome book) it should be in that menu, if it is not, you may need to reboot the chrome book a few times. I have been finding that students will just close their chrome book and reopen their chrome book and log back in instead of shutting down. When this happens, it does not get the updated apps in kiosk mode.
Important: The exam setup step, which loads the exam onto a student's testing computer, is time-sensitive—exam setup opens three calendar days before the exam and must be completed no later than the day before the exam.
Step 1 is only for students using personal computers
Step 1: Download the App
Students must download and install the digital testing application on an approved device they'll use on exam day. If they'll be testing on a school-managed device, your school will complete this step for them or provide necessary instructions. All students must log in to the app with their College Board username and password to complete installation.
Step 2: Use Digital Practice
Practicing with example questions in the digital testing app is the best way to prepare for digital exams. Digital practice also confirms that students' testing computers work as expected before exam day.
Step 3: Complete Exam Setup
For each digital AP Exam students take, they must complete the exam setup step in the digital testing app. This step loads the exam onto the computer they're going to test with. Completing this step is required 1–3 days before each exam. Without taking this step for each exam, students won't be able to test.
When to complete this step: 1–3 days before each of your digital exams.
For each digital AP Exam they take, students must complete the exam setup step in the digital testing app. This step loads their exam onto the computer they’re going to test with. Completing this step is required 1–3 days before each exam. Without taking this step for each exam, students will not be able to test.
- You must complete exam setup on the computer you will use for testing.
- Once you complete exam setup, you can’t share your testing computer with another student until you’ve successfully completed your exam.
If you’re taking more than one exam, remember that you need to complete exam setup for each digital exam subject you plan to take.
Exam setup opens 3 calendar days before each digital exam and you must complete setup no later than the day before the exam.
- Example: In Administration 2, the digital AP English Literature and Composition Exam is given on Tuesday, May 18. Setup opens on Saturday, May 15, and you need to be done by Monday, May 17
Step 4: Check In to Exam
Students are required to check in to each of their digital exams 30 minutes before the start time to complete final pre-exam checks. Make sure they know what time the exam starts in your time zone. Students can only check in on the device they used to complete exam setup.
