After completing our NEWL class, students typically take a practice exam, followed by the main NEWL (AP) Russian examination administered in May. We are certified to register students for the exam and facilitate communication with the American Councils for International Education. More than 8 years our students passed the exam with high scores! Learn more about our AP Russian classes.
