The AP (advanced placement) Japanese test is one of the many tests that can be taken by high school students who enroll into AP classes, which they aren't at many high schools, but they are in college-prep schools that attribute to both honors and IB students; like the one I'm in myself. AP exams only give you a college-level exam for that subject, so I would expect it to barely be along JLPT3 if even that. It is surprising that your school even has that Japanese class though, since mine is known as a great school in Florida, yet we only have AP Spanish, French, Latin, and Chinese. =_="
Anyways, I know this from taking my AP classes/exams and have heard how easy the AP exams are for Chinese, so I assume that another eastern-Asian language would be just as simple. This is probably because we are not expected to do well in these courses due to the difficulty of the languages compared to English-speakers and other learners of the "romantic" langauges. I have also heard the AP Spanish exam, however, is probably the hardest language exam due to the usefulness of it to Americans today.
