Beginning in 2006, the possible topics for the long essay question that requires incorporation of art beyond the European tradition will not be announced in advance.

Also beginning in 2006, the order of the free-response questions will be as follows:
  • Question 1 will be a 30-minute essay question requiring students to incorporate in their response at least one example of art beyond the European tradition.
  • Questions 2 through 8 will be 5- or 10-minute essay questions based on slides and/or text.
  • Question 9 will be a 30-minute essay question.
