The College Board had changed the rubric for the DBQ and LEQ and here we walk through what's new.

Thank you for doing this. Getting this out so quickly after the College Board slid this change in without warning is superhuman. We all really appreciate it.

THANK YOU for this update! I just taught these rubrics and gave the Unit 1 exam last week - my guys are going to be so relieved when I score their answers with the updated rubrics!

I got the email literally as I was going through LEQs in my annual AP Writing "Boot Camp." Happy to see the changes, but wish they would have come out in July.

Essentially solid HAPPY Analysis just got worth 2 points! haha I don't usually grade for complexity in Semester 1, but I will now.

[@frankiegutierrez5737]

Awesome!

[@lincolngravatt106]

thank you

[@matthewaaronturner4]

So, with the LEQ analysis points, they eiither earn 1 point for using a reasoning process (causation, comparison, CCOT) to frame their essay or they lose that point for not? Some LEQ prompts do not sufficiently lead toward a reasoning process (or at least it doesn't seem the best approach).

[@billiejean1982]

YESSSSS!!!!! I actually might not fail this exam! :)

[@bluefalcon2099]

Will you be updating your DBQ rubric?

[@JustinBedell-om7it]

Interesting- what got the CB to do this?

[@billcrane3310]

52% of the students who failed the test last year

[@edugator2242]

Lowering the bar is exactly what U.S. students need right now said no one.

[@blahpotters7719]

AP students aren’t necessarily the students we need be worried about

[@normalname5888]

Also the only thing that changed is the workload, not the skill needed.
