Important Notice
The AP German Development Committee will adhere to the new German spelling reform (Rechtschreibreform) that went into effect in August of 2006. Materials produced for the AP German Language exams and for the preparation materials will use the new spelling,* and the committee expects instructors to teach according to the new rules.  Beginning with the 2012 exam, students will be required to follow the new spelling rules. 
*Depending on details of copyright permission, some reading texts appearing on the test may adhere to the old spelling rules and will be identified as such.
