Before you begin scoring, you must learn the scoring rules. To teach these, you will train using a set of carefully selected responses that represent each of the possible score points.

To train on the items you will be scoring, follow these steps.

1. From the main application page, select the grade you will be scoring, as described in System Basics.

2. From the page for the grade, select the tab that corresponds to training. Because the application is configured specifically for each customer, what you seen in the application may be different than those in this screenshot.

3. Select a question from the list of questions provided.

   There are several ways this may appear in the application. Your option will look something like one of these. You may be asked to select by item number and score point:  You may be asked to select by question number and score point separately:

   • Click Prompt / Rubric at any time to view the prompt that was provided to the test taker and to view the scoring rubric.

     
     

4. Review the response. This may require reading a paper, watching a video, listening to audio, etc., depending on the type of item you are training to score.

   • Click Annotations at any time to hide or reveal notes below the item that explain why the response deserves a specific score.
