<p>I’m taking the AP Chinese test this year, and I’m a nervous about it–moreso than my other AP tests actually.</p>
<p>A few questions:</p>
<p>For the Personal Letter section, the rubric (<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools) suggests that the letter "includes elements typical of a letter (e.g., format, date, closing, set phrases). Where exactly in a letter would you put the date and how would you write it? I’m assuming set phrases means the salutation? Do I need to indicate somewhere who is the sender (me) and who is the receiver? What are examples of opening/closings? </p>
<p>How much time is given for the emails, story narration, and multiple choice parts?</p>
<p>Lastly, how is the AP Chinese scaling done? I know about >85% of test takers make a 5 but is there still the typical AP scale where >60-65% of the total points is still a 5?</p>
<p>Much thanks!</p>
