WHAT STUDENTS MUST DO BEFORE TEST DAY

  • Students using their own College Board approved device to take the Digital SAT must follow directions sent via email by College Board, including exam/Bluebook application set up. 
  • Students using their FCPS Chromebook will access Bluebook through the apps tab and do not need to download Bluebook separately. To access the app, students must first sign out of their student account. Next, click on “Apps” which should be found at the bottom of the screen. Finally, click on “Bluebook”.  Students should do this and then log in to their College Board accounts to access their admission ticket.  Be sure to refer to emails College Board sends out.
