AP Chinese and AP Japanese Language and Culture

Note: 2025 AP Chinese Language and Culture and AP Japanese Language and Culture Exams will be administered in the same way they have been in the past—on school-owned and -controlled devices via the Unify exam application. AP coordinators are emailed in March with details about installing the exam application on testing computers before exam day. If your testing computers already have the exam application installed from last year, you most likely won’t need to reinstall it. 

Ordering

AP Chinese and AP Japanese Exams are ordered through AP Registration and Ordering in the same way as all other AP Exams. For more information about ordering AP Exams, go to Ordering and Fees.

System Requirements

These exams can be administered on school-owned and -controlled Chromebooks, Macs, and Windows PCs. Internet connectivity is required throughout the setup process and exam administration. Chromebooks must be under management control of Google Workspace for Education.

Headsets are required for each student testing.

Accommodations

Extended time, additional breaks, adjustable screen color, screen magnification, large-print exams, screen reader, audio transcript, repetition of aural stimuli, and multiple-day testing are supported through the exam application for students who are approved for these accommodations by College Board. If a student with any other approved accommodation is planning to take the AP Chinese or AP Japanese Exam, contact the College Board SSD office.

In March 2025

We'll email AP coordinators with all details needed to install, practice with, and administer the exams, including:

• A link to the AP Chinese and AP Japanese Exams: Setup and Administration Guide. 
• The link to install the exam application on testing computers.
• Passwords and codes that you and proctors will use to launch and administer exams on exam day.

If you haven’t received this email by late March and you think you should have, please contact AP Services for Educators.
