At present, the US College Board offers "AP Tests" in the following foreign languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian, Spanish.

Historically, German was the third-most-popular foreign language for students taking the AP Tests, but in recent years, Chinese has been challenging German for the 3rd-place position.

P.S. Но я изучал латынь в школе (и сдался AP Test на пятёрку)!

P.P.S. If you ask me which is more difficult, Latin or Russian, I would say -- without a doubt, Latin is more grammatically complicated... on the other hand, they don't expect you to speak Latin, but only to read it!
