It’s tricky to visualize how much room a digital file takes up. Even though they are intangible, those files still fill up your allotted storage, whether that be your cloud storage, thumb drive, hard drive, SSD…. whatever.
Perhaps it would help to think of data in terms of rice.
1 byte = one grain of rice
1 Kilobyte = 1 cup of rice
1 Megabyte = 8 bags of rice
1 Gigabyte = 3 container trucks [see picture below]
1 Terabyte = 2 container ships [see picture below]
1 Petabyte = covers Manhattan
1 Exabyte = covers the UK three times over
1 Zettabyte = fills the Pacific Ocean
====================================

Dr. Franklin will be coordinating the details on taking your AP exam. This article will discuss the software you will need to take the exam.
Note that if ANYTHING stated below conflicts with what Dr, Franklin tells you – go with what he says.
You can take the exam using a Windows or Mac computer, OR YOUR IPAD [as long as you are using IOS 12 or later]
AP requires LockDown Browser from Respondus.
Once you’ve installed the browser, AND WELL BEFORE YOU NEED TO TAKE THE EXAM, you need to run a security check. Below are excerpts from the instructions on the AP site. [CLICK HERE for the originals.]
Once the LockDown Browser has been installed on the devices that will be used to take secure assessments, each student needs to complete a Secure Assignment Readiness Check.
Log in to the platform using the device that will be used for the final exam.
On the Assessments tab, you should see a yellow banner as shown below.
Click the “please complete this readiness check” link. You should see a pop-up to open
LockDown Browser. Click “Open LockDown Browser” and the readiness check will launch.
The LockDown Browser requires certain applications to close. If the pop-up shown below appears, click “Kill these applications.” Feel free to make appropriate bomb-dropping noises as you do.
AFter the check has launched, you should see 6 sample questions. Answer them, click “Submit“, and then exit the LockDown Browser. You have now successfully completed your readiness check.
