AP Exams Go Digital 2025

Read more about the College Board’s rationale for the digital test transition in this Announcement to the AP community.

Starting in May 2025, standard paper testing will be discontinued for 28 AP Exams—these exams will move to the Bluebook digital testing application.  

The AP Program is accelerating the transition to digital testing to ensure the continued security of AP Exams. 

• Students will take digital exams in the Bluebook app on a laptop. AP coordinators and proctors will administer digital exams in person, just as they have in the past.  
• Paper exams in these subjects will only be available to students approved by the College Board to receive a paper exam for digital assessments as an accommodation.  
• For math, science, and economics exams that require graphing or symbolic notation, students will view free-response questions and prompts in the Bluebook app and write their answers in paper exam booklets.   
• All schools, including schools and test centers outside of the United States, must administer these 28 AP Exams digitally. 
• Late-testing exams in these subjects are also in digital format.
