AP Exam Digital Proctored Mac Setup
AP exams in 2026 are increasingly delivered digitally through the Bluebook app (College Board's testing platform) on Mac. Bluebook locks the system and uses Apple's standard capture APIs for any monitoring.
College Board's Bluebook is the digital delivery app for AP, SAT, and PSAT in 2026. It locks the system, blocks app switching, disables screenshots, and uses Apple's standard capture surface for any external monitoring (proctor in classroom, video monitoring at home AP exams). On Mac the capture pipeline honors window privacy. The overlay is technically invisible. AP exam policy forbids any external resources; College Board has invalidated scores for confirmed cheating in past years.
