Exam Outline
Similar to the AP Chinese Language and Culture test, the exam is taken on a computer, requiring participants to read, write, and speak in Japanese, utilizing computers, headphones, and microphones. The 2012 exam was split mainly into two sections.
Section I
Students must answer multiple choice questions in response to audio prompts and short texts.
Section II
Students compose free-response answers in text-chat messages with 90 seconds to respond, and short responses with 20 minutes to respond. Audio conversations with 20-second responses, and a two-minute presentation complete the exam.

Famous quotes containing the words exam and/or outline:
“I know that if Id had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldnt have got anywhere. You dont take exams for acting, you take your courage.”
—Dame Edith Evans (18881976)
“A true poem is distinguished not so much by a felicitous expression, or any thought it suggests, as by the atmosphere which surrounds it. Most have beauty of outline merely, and are striking as the form and bearing of a stranger; but true verses come toward us indistinctly, as the very breath of all friendliness, and envelop us in their spirit and fragrance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
