Guys, who exactly grades our AP exams? I've always wondered if it's the teachers or outside professionals. If anybody has any intel on this, please share. Thanks!
AP exams are graded by both high school AP teachers and college-level instructors, who collectively come together for an event known as the AP Reading. During this event, these educators, who have all undergone training in the grading process, assess the free-response sections of the exams. It's important to note that the exam graders do not have access to the students' identities. The multiple-choice sections of the exams, on the other hand, are scored electronically. So it isn't solely your teacher who grades your exam, but a combination of different educators.
