AP Test Preparation (View our AP Readiness Flyer)

• Will I need a laptop to take an exam?

  Most exams have a digital component on the exam that is administered on a platform called Bluebook, so students will need a working laptop. Students may use their school-issued laptop or a Windows or Mac-based personal laptop. Chromebooks, however, are not compatible with the Bluebook testing platform. See the complete list of exam modes to see if your exam will be digital, hybrid or portfolio/audio-based. 

• Do I need to install anything on my laptop for test day?

  School-issued CCSD laptops already have Bluebook installed on them and should be ready for test day. Personal laptops will need to install Bluebook prior to exam day. View instructions on how to install Bluebook to your laptop. 

• How can I prepare for my AP exam?

  Almost all AP tests are now digital, so besides utilizing the practice tests found within AP Classroom, the most important thing you can do to prep for your test is make sure your laptop is updated and running smoothly about a week before the test. To check on a school issued laptop, simply type "check for updates" in the search field of your bottom taskbar. Then allow any updates that are available to run. If there are any issues with this process, please take the laptop to the Lassiter Media Center for support. Laptops should be charged to 100% prior to leaving for your exam
