What is the official AP French Language and Culture assessment format?

For 2027, College Board lists an approximately 2-hour-30-minute digital exam with 55 listening and reading questions and three free-response tasks: project presentation, project Q&A, and an argumentative essay. A Personalized Project Reference is submitted beforehand. These independent tools support concept review; add audio, speaking, writing, and your own project preparation.
