Key Facts About Digital AP Exams
The Advanced Placement Program® (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school.
The program consists of college-level courses developed by the AP Program that high schools can choose to offer, and corresponding exams that are administered once a year.
Digital exams are available for 7 AP subjects in May 2023:
AP Computer Science Principles
AP English Language and Composition
AP English Literature and Composition
AP European History
AP Seminar
AP U.S. History
AP World History: Modern
The digital option is available to schools in the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C.
Digital exams are optional. Schools make local decisions and choose to offer digital, paper, or a combination of paper and digital.
No application is required to order digital exams. The AP coordinator indicates the mode for relevant exams in AP Registration and Ordering.
AP coordinators work with school or district technology staff on the school’s technical readiness for digital testing.
Resources are available to help schools get ready to administer digital AP Exams.
Digital exams are proctored and administered in school on the same schedule as paper exams. They may not be taken at home.
Digital exams include the same number of sections, number and type of questions, question choice (if applicable), and timing as the paper exams.
Students can go back within a section or part to review or complete previous questions. As on the paper exam, students may not return to parts within a section that have already been completed.
Students can use the Bluebook™ testing app on a wide range of devices.
Bluebook requirements are typical of other applications used in schools.
Accommodations such as extended time are provided in Bluebook.
Full instructional planning reports will be available to schools and teachers for students who take digital AP Exams.

Benefits
Taking AP courses and exams can help students:
Stand out on college applications. AP courses on a student’s transcript shows that they’ve challenged themselves with the most rigorous courses available to them. And success on an AP Exam shows that they’re ready for college-level coursework.
Earn college credit and/or skip introductory courses in college. Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States—as well as many institutions in more than 100 other countries—grant students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP Exam scores. Search credit policies by college.
