For students who took AP Exams in May: the AP Reading are in progress. Here’s what that means. More than 36,000 AP teachers and college faculty from across the country and around the world will evaluate more than 25 million essays and open-ended responses this month. Here is how that process works. Before a single response is scored, all identifying information is stripped from the work. Readers never know whose response they are reading, not the student's name, not their school, not their state. What sits in front of a Reader is the work alone: the argument constructed, the evidence marshaled, the reasoning applied. Nothing else. Each Reader must first calibrate their judgment against the established scoring standards before they evaluate a single response. Our standards are developed by AP teachers and college faculty together. Many responses are read by more than one Reader, and statistical processes are in place to ensure that scoring remains consistent from the first day of the Reading to the last. The goal is straightforward: the quality of each response determines its score, and nothing else. Scores are on their way. The educators reading the exams care deeply about getting it right.
