AP Essays are graded on a scale of 0 to 9. 9 is the best score you can earn and 0 is the lowest.

For purposes of accurately and fairly grading your essays I have created the following grading scale. You will always receive a grade on your essay from 1 to 9, but on the grading system online you will see the following scores recorded to correspond with the 1 to 9 grade scale.

You may also receive a grade of "R&R" which means you must redo and resubmit the essay by the date provided. You will receive a grade after you have resubmitted your essay. The grade recorded for an essay that was rewritten and resubmitted will be 10% less than the grade earned since you were given the opportunity to resubmit after comments were provided.
