The readers score exams for all 41 Advanced Placement courses offered. Del has been reading for AP Art History exams annually for the past ten years. Upon her return from Salt Lake, students had an opportunity to analyze one of the prompts she worked on and they discussed how her work creates their exam score. Thanks Del!
