IME Installation Guide for AP Chinese IBT Delivery

Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) Installation Guide for AP Chinese & Japanese Internet-based Test (IBT) Delivery

AP Chinese Language and Culture
This exam will be an Internet-based test (iBT). During the exam, each student will work at an individual computer, which processes everything read, heard, written, or spoken by the student. That is, the student reads on the screen, listens through headphones, types using the keyboard, and speaks into a microphone. There is no paper component; although a student may use paper to take notes during the exam, the proctor will collect the notes at the end of the exam, and they will not be graded.

Chinese Homework due on March 7th, 08

Please translate the following info into chinese, type it out, turn in on March 7th or email it to ChineseHW@Gmail.com:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Start
The first AP Chinese Language and Culture course was offered worldwide in the fall of 2006, followed by the exam in May of 2007.
The AP Chinese Exam assesses students' interpersonal communication skills, their abilities to present and interpret language in spoken and written forms, and their functional familiarity with Chinese culture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of Chinese language ability and what aspects of Chinese culture will be taught in the course and assessed in the exam?
--The AP Chinese Language and Culture course will be roughly equivalent to a 4th semester college course. The course and exam will incorporate Chinese cultural information within the teaching of reading, writing, and speaking the language. The specific aspects of Chinese culture to be included in the course will be posted here at a later date.

On which Chinese dialect is the AP Chinese Language and Culture Exam based?
--The AP Chinese Language and Culture course and examination is based on Mandarin/Putonghua Chinese.

What type of characters are used on the exam?
--The exam will provide its questions using both traditional and simplified characters, enabling students with knowledge of either type of characters to take the exam. Similarly, student responses using either set of characters will be accepted.

How can I find out if AP Chinese Language and Culture will be available in my high school?
--Please check with your Chinese teacher, your school's AP Coordinator, or principal/head of school to find out whether your school will implement the new AP Chinese Language and Culture course. If your teachers and school administrators are unaware of this new course, encourage them to visit AP Central for more information.

How is the AP Chinese exam scored?
--The AP Chinese Reader's scores on the essays and problem-solving questions are combined with the computer-scored multiple-choice questions, and the total raw scores will be converted to a composite score based on AP's 5-point scare:
5 (Extremely well qualified),
4 (Well qualified),
3 (Qualified),
2 (Possibly qualified),
and 1 (No recommendation).
