Course Content

The AP Chinese Language and Culture Exam will assess your ability to apply communication skills learned in class, such as interpreting various types of written and audio texts, writing to and speaking with others, and presenting your ideas in both written and spoken Chinese. You will be asked to demonstrate your understanding of Chinese-speaking cultures throughout the exam.

The exam is given on computers in schools. On exam day, you will read text from a screen, listen with a headset, type with a keyboard, and speak into a microphone.

Chinese text on the screen can be displayed in either simplified or traditional characters, and you can switch between the two if necessary. When typing your answers in the Writing section of the exam, you can use one of three input methods: Pinyin Simplified, Pinyin Traditional, or Bopomofo. Your exam score is unaffected by the display and input options.
