DAC App vs Jamf Assessment

The Digital Audio Capture (DAC) app is a free app developed by College Board and ETS to use for recording students’ audio responses for the AP Music Theory Exam and AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams. This app has been developed to simplify the recording process for students and proctors, utilizing current technology that is intuitive to most students. It streamlines post-exam tasks for school staff by directly uploading student audio files after recording. School staff will follow the instructions in the 2025-26 AP Exam Instructions book to administer an exam using the DAC app. NOTE: The DAC app is limited for use on school-owned and -controlled iPad tablets (iOS 15.0 and above). Schools must update to the 2026 version of the DAC app; previous versions of the app will not work in 2026.

Jamf Assessment assists with the live-proctoring of web based exams for students anywhere. Assessment displays the front-facing camera view and web-based exam in a single app. Combine this with any videoconferencing platform that supports screen sharing to facilitate a proctored experience where both the student and screen are both visible. This app can be configured and deployed by a school’s IT Department. Leveraging the power of Managed AppConfig, the settings of the app (URL, screen ratio, branding and more) must be preconfigured for secure test administration. This allows a school to continue proctored testing, regardless of a student’s location.
