AP Exam Formats AP Latin: Vergil Course Home Page Exam Content Although Latin was among the first AP offerings in 1956, it has undergone many changes since then. Here are some of the milestones: 1956. The first administration included two Latin exams, named IV (for fourth-year Vergil) and V (for fifth-year prose, comedy, and lyric). 1969. The Latin IV and Latin V exams were divided into four discrete exams: Latin Vergil, Latin Lyric, Latin Prose, and Latin Comedy.  Students could take one or two of these four exams. 1973. The exams were renamed Classics, and only the Vergil and Lyric options remained, with a common multiple-choice section. 1978. The Classics title reverted back to Latin, and the two exams became known as Latin: Catullus and Horace, and Latin: Vergil. 1994. The current form of the exams was introduced, with the options being Latin: Vergil and Latin Literature. The latter is based on works of Catullus, Ovid, Cicero, and Horace. 2009. Latin: Vergil becomes the sole course and exam offering. 2013. Introduction of new AP Latin course and exam.
