AP Italian Language and Culture

Course scope

AP Italian Language and Culture develops reading, listening, writing and speaking skills in Italian together with the cultural contexts of Italy.

Exam and assessment structure

The exam on 3 May 2027 lasts about 2 hours 30 minutes and is taken entirely in Bluebook. In the 2027 structure, the first section consists of a project presentation, questions and answers about the project and a source-based argumentative essay; the second has 25 listening and 30 reading questions. The two sections are weighted equally. The personal project reference (PPR) for the project prepared for the speaking tasks is submitted by 30 April 2027 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Language skills are thus assessed together with cultural research and communication.
