<p>Hard to say.</p>
<p>For the first, I believe that it is with auto-detect, though I am also taking it for the first time tomorrow and I cannot say for certain. From what I have heard, it is very confusing the first time you use it, but if you’re lucky, you get used to it after a few minutes.</p>
<p>For the second, there is no essay portion, just a story narration and email response portion. As long as your response covers all the questions and topics, you should be fine. Length doesn’t matter, though it may help set a good first impression.</p>
<p>Try the practice exam released online at [AP</a> Central - 2007 AP Chinese Language and Culture Released Exam: Multiple-Choice Questions](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>AP Chemistry Past Exam Questions – AP Central | College Board)</p>
<p>Hope it helps. Good luck!</p>
