The AP Spanish Language Exam is a 3-4 hour skill-based exam testing your abilities and
proficiency in Spanish. It is not a knowledge-based exam like most other AP exams. You are
“on-stage” in Spanish for over 3 hours, integrating all of your speaking, listening, reading and
writing skills, as well as cultural information acquired during your Spanish studies over the years.
There are sections for multiple choice written, multiple choice audio, written free response and spoken free response.
