Thanks

The grading of these exams is a beast. Teachers sit at tables and grade a single question over and over for a week straight. Multiple teachers put eyes on each test—if the scores match, it stands, if they differ it goes to yet a third teacher. Therefor your child’s FRQ portion is graded by a minimum of 12 teachers in my subject (there are 6 FRQs). It takes a long time.

The grading schedule is different for each subject. Grading for Calculus has just started. Will take us about 7-10 days to grade all FRQs, then scores are combined and cut scores are determined. Scores are released at the end of first week of July.

Scores are scheduled to be released in early July (the 8th, IIRC).

It takes a while because only the MCQs are scored by computer. All free response sections are read and scored by trained teachers during a two week period in early June, after all late/make up exams have been administered. The section scores have to then be combined, cut scores for each exam determined so final scores can be assigned, etc.

Kid took first AP test this year. So I have no frame of reference. I think they said July. I’m assuming this is because the tests are done at different times across the country. I assume APs are done by the end of May but I know nothing. If so, it seems odd with all the tech that it takes so long to process.
