    There are two qualification sets available. You should start with Qualification Set 1. The items to be scored will be presented to you one by one. Review each response. This may require reading a paper, watching a video, or listening to audio clips, depending on the type of item you are training to score. To qualify as a scorer, you must pass at least one qualification set.

    The qualification requirements vary by stage grade or grade band and are as follows:

    Kindergarten Placement Test (KPT) - To obtain a KPT Qualified Administrator Code, of the 38 items you must correctly score at least 30 one-point items and four multiple-point items. You may have adjacent scores for three of the multiple-point items. There are two qualification sets available. Obtaining a passing score on either set is sufficient to receive a KPT Qualified Administrator Code. You are not required to pass both qualification sets.

    AZELLA Placement Test Grade 1 - To obtain a Qualified Writing Scorer Code, you must qualify to score for each Writing prompt. For some prompts, an adjacent score will be considered correct to meet qualification. The criteria for qualification on each prompt is described below:

    Item 1 (Papers 1-10):  9 out of 10 correct – no adjacent scores

    Item 2 (Papers 11-20):  9 out of 10 correct – 1 adjacent score

    Item 3 (Papers 21-30):  9 out of 10 correct – 1 adjacent score
