Check device readiness before test day
Device policy is operational information and can change. StudyDesk should link directly to College Board rather than preserving an old hardware list as permanent advice.
- Complete the official Bluebook device check and any required exam setup before the deadline for your administration.
- Use a supported personal or school-managed device and verify charging, operating-system and storage requirements on the current College Board page.
- Do not wait until the test centre to discover that your device cannot run the required app.
- Follow the official instructions for approved backup-device or loan-device procedures when applicable.
