This brand-new manual prepares students for a subject that has recently been added to the Advanced Placement program. Separate sections review all parts of the new exam: Listening, Reading, Writing, Grammar, Speaking, and Culture. Each section also includes exercises, and the listening and reading sections include practice questions with answer keys and answer explanations. The book reflects the AP exam's standards, presenting questions in both traditional and simplified Chinese characters. Two full-length practice exams are presented with answer keys and answer explanations. Enclosed with the manual are three audio compact discs, which present spoken material covering the exam's Listening, Writing, and Speaking sections.
