Advanced Placement Latin (known also as AP Latin), formerly Advanced Placement Latin: Vergil, is an examination in Latin literature offered by the College Board's Advanced Placement Program. Prior to the 2012–2013 academic year, the course focused on poetry selections from the ''Aeneid'', written by Augustan author Publius Vergilius Maro, also known as Vergil or Virgil. However, in the 2012–2013 year, the College Board changed the content of the course to include not only poetry, but also prose. The modified course consists of both selections from Vergil and selections from ''Commentaries on the Gallic War'', written by prose author Gaius Julius Caesar. Also included in the new curriculum is an increased focus on sight reading. The student taking the exam will not necessarily have been exposed to the specific reading passage that appears on this portion of the exam. The College Board suggests that a curriculum include practice with sight reading. The exam is administered in May and is three hours long, consisting of a one-hour multiple-choice section and a two-hour free-response section. ==Material previously tested== The AP Latin exam was based upon Vergil's ''Aeneid'' and Caesar's ''De Bello Gallico''. Students were expected to be familiar with these following lines of the ''Aeneid'':〔()〕 * Book 1: Lines 1–519 * Book 2: Lines 1–56, 199–297, 469–566, 735-804 * Book 4: Lines 1-449, 642–705 * Book 6: Lines 1-211, 450–476, 847–901 * Book 10: Lines 420-509 * Book 12: Lines 791-842, 887-952 Students were also expected to be familiar with the total content of Books 1 through 12. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AP Latin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
