Advanced Placement exam
On Monday afternoon, 5 May, about 14,000 high school students will sit down to take the Advanced Placement exam in Comparative Government and Politics.In fact, as I write this at 10:00 CDT on 4 May, students in New Zealand (if there are any AP students there) are finishing the exam. It's noon in Tokyo and Seoul and the exam will begin shortly. It's 11:00 AM in Shanghai, where students will take the exam after lunch.
Students in Honolulu will be among the last to finish the exam, about three hours after those in Los Angeles and Anchorage.
The finale of all those efforts will come in June when a couple hundred people who teach comparative politics will gather in Florida at "the reading," to apply the rubrics to the Free Response Questions, which will complete the exam grading process.
Good luck to all those students and to those of you who will later be readers.
