All 6 of the free-response questions are 9 points each. We get a training session on the official AP rubric for the question we will grade - it describes when points will be awarded, and what phrases or equations we are looking for. Then grade that problem for two days. Then we switch problems. We do all the exams in a week (there were 424000 last year, AB and BC combined).<br /><br />The multiple choice questions are also graded and the two scores are added for a final score. Then the AP calculus committee decides what point ranges count as a 5, 4, etc. It's a fun job for a week.Joshua Sasmorhttp://people.setonhill.edu/sasmornoreply@blogger.com
