Before you can be an official scorer, you must score a set of responses using the rubric(s) and submit scores that consistently follow the given guidance. This proves that you have met the criteria to be a scorer. You can do this all at once, or score part of the set and stop, and then come back later. This may be useful if you decide you need to review the training or practice options before continuing.

To qualify as a scorer, follow these steps.

  1. From the Educator Home page, select the stage you want to qualify on, as described in Select a Stage.

  2. Click the Qualification Set tab. From the drop-down menu, select a qualification set. You should start with Qualification Set 1. To qualify as a scorer, you must pass at least one qualification set.

    The qualification requirements vary by stage and are as follows:

    Kindergarten Placement Test (KPT) - In order to qualify for a KPT Test Administrator Qualification Number, of the 38 items, you must correctly score 35 one-point items and 2 two point items. For item 38, you must have a matching or adjacent  score for this 0-3 point item. There are two Qualification Sets available. Obtaining a passing score on either set is sufficient to receive a KPT Test Qualification Number.

    AZELLA Placement Test Stages II-V - To obtain a Qualified Writing Scorer Code, you must correctly score 20 papers. Up to 3 adjacent scores will be considered correct for qualification.

  3. 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.

  4. Click to select your score, then use the forward arrow to proceed to the next item. After you select a score, your progress is saved.
