April 5, 2019 Advanced Placement (AP) Mock Readings

The Mock Reading is a preparatory PD event for AP teachers that mirrors the College Board’s process for scoring AP exams at the annual College Board Reading.

Teachers bring these completed assessments to the Mock Reading, where a College Board Leader norms them prior to collaboratively scoring one another’s assessments with student information removed. >> Click here to register for the English & History Mock Reading in Denver February 21-22, 2019. >> Click here to register for the Math & Science Mock Reading in Denver April 5, 2019.
