Due to low numbers of students taking AP Latin Literature, it was discontinued after the 2008–09 year.
Students who chose to study Cicero as their secondary author read the entire contents of Pro Archia Poeta Oratio and Sections 17–23 and 100–104 from De Amicitia.
It was also suggested that students read the entire English translation of De Amicitia.
The multiple-choice questions were concerned with comprehension, translation, metrical scanning, poetic devices, and grammatical structures.
This section began with a 15-minute reading period, during which students would view the free-response questions and outline their responses, but could not begin writing the essays.
They must have responded to short-answer questions concerning poetic devices, grammatical structures, and comprehension of both the literal text and implications from the grammar and vocabulary.
