Become an Advanced Placement (AP) Reader
Would you like the opportunity to earn additional money ($30 per hour) and to apply your knowledge in grading Advanced Placement (AP) exams over the summer? Graduate teaching assistants and part-time or adjunct faculty may be considered for appointment, as long as they have taught or assisted in teaching at least one semester of the equivalent course within the past three years. There are no degree requirements.
The Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) Reading is an annual event where AP teachers and college faculty score millions of responses from AP Exams administered to students each May. The Reading takes place in the first two and a half weeks of June at five AP Reading sites; and at-home scoring option is also available for all AP subjects.
Current AP teachers, active college faculty, adjuncts, and graduate teaching assistants are encouraged to apply.

All in-person readers must be able to work at the Reading site location for seven consecutive days. Readers scoring from home can work flexible schedules during the 7-day Reading period but must attend mandatory training during the required times at the beginning of the event.
