Major congratulations to that 10% taking the test without being native speakers! Mandarin is super hard to learn for English speakers compared to other European languages... ><
But I think taking the AP Chinese test still involves tons of work for a Chinese person. In other languages if you can speak and spell you're okay; in Chinese you memorize every single character... and after the first couple hundred they get really complicated. Most of the Chinese kids I know are illiterate. In Chinese, I mean.
