The full name of Chinese AP is Advanced Placement Exam for Chinese Language and Culture. It's part of foreign language study comparable to fourth semester (or the equivalent) college/university courses (around 250 hours) in Mandarin Chinese.

Students will be tested on listening (25%), reading (25 %), writing (25%) and Speaking (25%) and are required to learn  their language skills across the three communicative modes.
  • Interpersonal Mode (30%): involves spontaneous two-way interaction and an active negotiation of meaning between two or more people, such as conversing face-to-face or exchanging written correspondence.
  • Interpretive Mode (40%): requires interpreting a broad range of written and oral texts. This requires the student has exposure to contextualized language and written materials in Chinese.
  • Presentational Mode (40%):  requires the speaking proficiency to create a appropriate speech or report, produce a newscast or video, and narrate personal experiences and current events in a coherent fashion with comprehensible pronunciation and intonation.
