Educational Testing Service Responds.
McLauchlan, William
College Teaching, v47 n1 p7-8 Win 1999
A faculty consultant to the Educational Testing Service for advanced placement (AP) test reading in U.S. government and politics responds to an article criticizing essay evaluation methods and criteria, finding in it a fundamental misunderstanding of the AP reading process and explaining why the essays are subject to less scrutiny for style, rhetoric, and grammar than for content.
