The College Board: Connecting Students to College Success

The College Board is a not-for-profit membership association whose mission is to connect
students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the association is composed
of more than 4,700 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Each
year, the College Board serves over three and a half million students and their parents, 23,000
high schools, and 3,500 colleges through major programs and services in college admissions,
guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and teaching and learning. Among its bestknown
programs are the SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT, and the Advanced Placement Program
(AP). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and equity, and that
commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns.
Equity Policy Statement

The College Board believes that all students should be prepared for and have an opportunity
to participate successfully in college, and that equitable access to higher education must be a
guiding principle for teachers, counselors, administrators, and policymakers. As part of this,
all students should be given appropriate guidance about college admissions, and provided
the full support necessary to ensure college admission and success. All students should be
encouraged to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum through enrollment
in college preparatory programs and AP courses. Schools should make every effort to ensure
that AP and other college-level classes reflect the diversity of the student population. The
College Board encourages the elimination of barriers that limit access to demanding courses
for all students, particularly those from traditionally underrepresented ethnic, racial, and
socioeconomic groups.

Introduction
Picture Sequences from AP French, German, and Spanish Exams

About the Pictures
The pictures in this document come from past AP language exams. Whenever
possible, text in a particular language has been removed from the pictures so that
they might be used by a wider group of teachers and students.
Directions and Scoring Guidelines
Since the expectations for the speaking portions of the AP Spanish, German, and
French Exams are all slightly different, be sure to visit the picture sequence directions
for the official, current AP Exam. These language-specific expectationsas well
as student samples and scoring guidelines for AP French Language, AP German
Language, and AP Spanish Languagecan be found in the Exam Information and
Course Description sections of each Course Home Page:

How to Use This Collection of Picture Sequences
As a Pre-AP strategy for beginning and intermediate levels of instruction, ask
students to use rich description when explaining what they see in the pictures. For
beginners, use simple pictures or one image at a time.
Fill in the (now empty) signs and banners in the pictures with text in the language
you teach as a way to enrich the given contexts.
Early practice with picture descriptions may be untimed. Later, move to a timed
format as per the language being tested.
Have students record their picture descriptions, trade recordings with a classmate,
and listen to someone elses recordings. Students can then give feedback to one
another based on the AP scoring guidelines.
Before the day of the AP Exam, be sure to simulate the same testing/recording
environment that the students will experience.
As desired, follow-up on picture sequence practice with writing practice based on
the pictures.
