Corrections: AP Japanese Exam 2020 Webinar
1. If you attended the May 2 webinar, “Preparing for the AP Japanese Exam 2020”, please note the following (see the third slide, which has been corrected): Although the conversation task for French, German, Italian, and Spanish for 2020 is a peer-to-peer conversation, the conversation task for Japanese and Chinese for 2020, as in past years, can be a conversation either with a peer or with an adult and, therefore, could be either informal or formal.
2. The make-up exam will be June 5, not June 2.
