A provision of this law is that students be provided with certain information concerning the purpose of the exams, procedures for releasing score reports, score interpretations, and the use of exam scores.\u003Cbr>Much of this information—including registration and exam procedures, deadlines, fees, and reporting services—is provided in the 2015-16 Bulletin forAP Students and Parents. This bulletin is given to students interested in taking AP Exams and is also available at\u003Cbr>[www.collegeboard.org/apstudents](www.collegeboard.org/apstudents).\u003Cbr>Complete descriptions of the content and structure of each exam, along with sample exam questions, are provided in the AP Course Descriptions. These subjectspecific booklets may be found in your school library or guidance office, obtained from your AP teacher, or [downloaded from](downloaded from www.collegeboard.org/apcourses)[ www.collegeboard.org/apcourses](downloaded from www.collegeboard.org/apcourses). |\n| --- |\n| The Advanced\u003Cbr>Placement Program®\u003Cbr>®\u003Cbr>The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Through 37 college-level courses, each culminating in a rigorous exam, AP provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both. |\n\nThe Purpose and Nature of the Exams  \nAP Exams are offered annually to enable secondary school students to demonstrate college-level achievement. In 2016, AP Exams will be offered based on the learning goals outlined in the following AP Course Descriptions: Art History, Biology, Calculus (AB, BC), Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, Computer Science A, Economics (Macroeconomics, Microeconomics), English (Language and Composition, Literature and Composition), Environmental Science, European History, French Language and Culture, German Language and Culture, Government and Politics (Comparative, United States), Human Geography, Italian Language and Culture, Japanese Language and Culture, Latin, Music Theory, Physics (Physics 1, Physics 2, Physics C: Electricity and  \nMagnetism, Physics C: Mechanics), Psychology, Research, Seminar, Spanish (Language and Culture, Literature and Culture), Statistics, Studio Art (Drawing, 2-D Design, 3-D Design), United States History, and World History. In place of an exam, AP Studio Art students submit portfolios containing samples or digital images of their artwork for evaluation.  \nAP Course Descriptions and the corresponding exams are prepared by AP Development Committees of seven educators appointed to overlapping terms by the  \nCollege Board and aided by assessment specialists from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) . Each committee normally has at least three members from colleges or universities and at least three members from secondary schools. In addition, the Chief AP Exam Reader serves as an ex officio member of the committee.  \nWith the exception of Research, Seminar, and Studio Art, each of which contains through-course performance tasks, exams vary in length from two to three hours and contain both multiple-choice and free-response questions; exams in European History and United States History also contain short-answer questions. The AP Exams in world languages and cultures, Spanish Literature and Culture, and Music Theory have a listening component. The exams in world languages and cultures and Music Theory also have a speaking or sight-singing part, respectively. The exams in Chinese and Japanese Language and Culture are produced on CDs and administered through computers.  \nTest Security and Adm","cbCairSXrQwNkfek","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairSXrQwNkfek","pdf",1075861,"English","# Introduction\n## Amendments to the California Education Code\n## Overview of the bulletin contents\n# The Advanced Placement Program\n## Purpose and structure of AP\n# The Purpose and Nature of the Exams\n## Annual exam format and course coverage\n## Portfolio submission for AP Studio Art\n## Exam development and committee structure\n# Test Security and Administration Policies and Procedures\n## Irregularities and score decisions\n## Retake opportunities and California test-site cooperation\n# Overview of the Scoring Process\n## Computer scoring for multiple-choice\n## Reader evaluation for free-response","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of AP Exams in the California Supplement?\",\"answer\":\"AP Exams are offered annually so secondary students can demonstrate college-level achievement.
