This week, the College Board recognized the contributions of AP Readers throughout the country. In June, their participation in the Advanced Placement (AP®) Reading, along with the participation of over 23,000 dedicated high school teachers and college faculty, gave almost 2.9 million students the chance to complete their AP journeys and earn college credits for their learning throughout the year. "One good thing about being an AP Reader is understanding what the College Board really means by the rubrics," said Mr. Cooper.
