Prohibited Devices

Unless students have a College Board-approved accommodation, they can’t access these items during the test or breaks:

• Mobile phones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, or other wearable technology (simple digital non-smartwatches or analog watches are acceptable)
• Audio players, Bluetooth devices (such as wireless earbuds/headphones), or any other electronic devices (except your testing device or backup testing device)
• Detachable privacy screens
• External keyboards for use with laptops or Chromebooks (keyboards for iPads are allowed)
• Stylus for iPad
• Any cameras or recording devices
• Separate timers of any type
• Notes, books, papers, or any other reference materials
• Compasses, rulers, protractors, or cutting devices
• Headphones, earbuds, or earplugs
• Unacceptable calculators that have computer-style (QWERTY) keyboards, use paper tape, make noise, or use a power cord
• Weapons or firearms

Penalties for Prohibited Devices

If your prohibited electronic device makes noise in your possession or you're seen with it at any time, including during breaks, you may be dismissed immediately, your scores may be canceled, and the device may be confiscated and its contents inspected.
