AP Practice Book/ College Essay Review and Rewrite/ AP Videos Unit 9

NOTE FROM COLLEGE BOARD: 

**AP Testing APP for practice

Digital Practice Available by April 12

Digital practice will roll out over several days. It will be added to the app starting April 8 and will be available for all digital exam subjects by April 12. Practicing with example questions in the digital testing app is the best way for students to prepare for digital exams. Students can:

Try each type of multiple-choice and/or free-response question they’ll encounter on exam day.

Preview the flow of the exam and practice using the tools and features in the app.

Confirm that their technology works as expected.

Students will have access to two practice options:

Digital Practice: A longer option students can use to fully explore the digital testing application.

App Demo: A shorter option students can use to quickly confirm that the application is correctly installed, that questions display appropriately, and that they can enter answers.

We strongly recommend that all students taking digital exams do one of these practice options. See Digital Practice or the AP Digital Testing Guide (.pdf/21.5 MB) for more information.

Review the Latest Information About Your Exam

On April 12, your course's exam page on AP Central will be updated with additional information regarding taking digital exams, digital practice, differences in paper and pencil and digital exam formats (where applicable), and instructions students will see in the digital testing app.

Coming Soon: Live Online Review Sessions

AP Daily: Live Review sessions begin April 19 and stream live through April 29. Students and educators can access these free sessions on our YouTube channel or watch them as on-demand recorded videos in AP Classroom.
