As AP exams continue to modernize, students in 2025 will see more subjects offered in digital format than ever before. Whether you're sitting a fully digital or hybrid AP exam, knowing the test structure and dates is essential for success.

This guide by Tutoring Space outlines which exams are digital, how the format works, and the official AP exam schedule for May 2025.

 

What Are Digital AP Exams?

Digital AP exams are administered at school using the Bluebook testing app, developed by the College Board. These exams maintain the same question types, duration, and scoring rubrics as paper exams. Students will use laptops or tablets and may still write on scratch paper.

Important: AP digital exams are taken in school under supervision or at authorized AP testing centers.

How to Prepare for AP Digital Exams

Tutoring Space recommends the following strategies:

  1. Familiarize Yourself with Bluebook
    Practice navigating the platform before test day to avoid surprises.

  2. Take Full-Length Digital Mocks
    Replicate real conditions to improve pacing, stamina, and confidence.

  3. Review Key Topics by Exam
    Focus on question types, essay formats, and core skills like graph analysis or argument building.

  4. Practice Handwriting for Hybrid Exams
    Since FRQs are still handwritten for hybrid exams, build endurance for neat, fast writing.
