Printed Color Images for the 2010 AP® Art History Exam
|
|
| | Beginning in 2010, the images that had formerly been projected from slides during Section I and Section II of the exam will be printed in full-color inserts. For the parts of the exam that are based on these inserts, the exam instructions will indicate the total time allotted for each part, and the proctor will suggest the times for completing each question. However, students will be responsible for pacing themselves, as they will be able to move freely from question to question within the allotted time for each part. Because students may not view the images until the proctor tells them to do so, both of the inserts must remain sealed until the exam instructions indicate they may be opened.
The Coordinator and proctors should review the Art History instructions in the AP Examination Instructions book before the administration. In addition, the instructions, format, and essay-question sequence for the AP Art History Practice Exam have been updated to reflect the changes in this year’s exam. To download the updated Practice Exam, AP Course Audit-authorized teachers should sign in to their Course Audit account and click on the “View Practice Exam” link located on their Course Status Page.
The following provides a brief preview of the exam administration:
Section I
- Students receive a shrink-wrapped exam packet.
- Students open the exam packet and remove the Section I booklet and a sealed color insert containing images for Part A. The shrink-wrapped Section II packet is put aside. They do NOT open the insert until the proctor instructs them to do so.
- The proctor begins timing for Part A when students have opened the insert. Students are given a total of 16 minutes to answer the 4 sets of questions in Part A, and are advised to spend 4 minutes on each set. The proctor announces when each 4-minute interval has elapsed, but students may proceed freely from one set of questions to the next. Students may write on the image inserts, but nothing written in the inserts will be scored. Students complete Part A.
- The proctor collects Part A inserts before students are allowed to continue with Part B. Students complete Part B.
- After completing Section I, students return the multiple-choice exam booklets to the proctor and take a 10-minute break. For the regularly scheduled exam (Form 4GBP), the proctor holds the inserts securely for 48 hours before returning them to students. All inserts for alternate exams must be returned to the AP Program.
Section II
- Students open the Section II packet, which consists of the free-response exam booklet and a shrink-wrapped insert containing the images for Part B. They do NOT open the insert until the proctor instructs them to do so.
- Students have 1 hour to answer Questions 1 and 2, and are advised to spend 30 minutes on each question. The proctor announces when each 30-minute interval has elapsed, but students may proceed freely from Question 1 to Question 2.
- The proctor instructs students to read the directions for Part B. After students have read the directions, they are instructed to open their inserts.
- The proctor begins timing for Part B when students have opened the insert, and announces when students should move on to the next questions. Students are given 1 hour to answer the short-answer questions, and are advised to spend 5 or 10 minutes per question, depending on the question timing indicated at the end of each question. The proctor announces when the time for each question has elapsed, but students may proceed freely from one question to the next. Students may write on the image inserts, but the only responses that will be scored are those that are written on the lined pages in the Section II booklet.
- After completing Section II, students return exam booklets and inserts to the proctor. For the regularly scheduled exam (Form 4GBP), the proctor holds the inserts securely for 48 hours before returning them to students. All inserts for alternate exams must be returned to the AP Program.
