Luckymama Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) For the curious, the College Board has begun to release the FRQs for this year, two days after each exam's testing date. I'll add them all to this post as the time passes. These are the prompts only. Scoring guidelines (rubrics) and actual student samples will be released here http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/exam/exam_information/index.html sometime after the "readings" take place next month.

Muttichen Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) In case anyone isn't aware, all of the free response questions going back to the late 1990s in some cases (there are far fewer if the test has been redesigned) are available at http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/exam/exam_information/index.html. The College Board always posts the latest questions 48 hours after the exam is given. Edited May 5, 2016 by Muttichen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh ;)Link is to Chinese as a 2nd language 3rd quarter test for 6 year olds back home; english is the 1st language. The only english instructions are on the front cover of the test. http://www.testpapersfree.com/pdfs/P1-Chinese-2014-SA2-Pei-Chun.pdf I'm looking at the 2016 AP German paper and the instructions are bilingual too. https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/ap/ap16_frq_german_language.pdf My kids test in their german school for german as a foreign language is in german only. ETA: I'm sure my kids would be happy as they read faster in english but it is so weird to hubby and me.

Muttichen Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I was surprised by the suggested books for question 3 on the lit exam. Sorry, but I don't think Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close belongs in the same company as Othello and Heart of Darkness. And why in the world are there three titles by Margaret Atwood?
