<p>Since I am planning on self-studying AP US and Comp. Government, is there any online service where I can submit an essay and have it graded AP style?</p>
<p>Not to the best of my knowledge, but going to collegeboard.com and visiting the AP U.S. Gov. page will yield real Free response question's from previous years and guidelines on how they were graded. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Thanks for the prompt response, but I'm already aware of past FRQs and such and the rubric, but I'm hardly a trained essay grader and furthermore, I would be grading my own essay and thus would be pretty biased. :)</p>
<p>Contact a teacher teaching those subjects in your school district or another school district for help.</p>
<p>I was thinking of that too, and while that is definitely a good option, I think it would be optimal if I could find a service where I can see how long the graders have been graded, whether they have been actually trained, etc. If this service doesn't exist, then of course I will just submit the papers to some teachers.</p>
<p>Any advice on how to find teachers of these two subjects though (besides the obvious, google "AP comp govt." or something)?</p>
<p>One possible alternative is posting your essays here; while few of us can claim to grade indistinguishably from the official scorers, many here are capable of critiquing your work unmarred by any ulterior bias which you yourself might carry.</p>
