How are the AP Exams scored?
AP Exams, with the exception of AP Studio Art, which is a portfolio assessment, each consist of dozens of multiple-choice questions that are scored by machine, as well as free-response questions (essays, translations, problems, oral responses) that are scored at the annual AP Reading by approximately 10,000 college faculty and AP teachers, who use scoring standards and rubrics developed by college and university faculty who teach the corresponding college courses.
