Scoring and Reporting
Each year, ETS delivers millions of scores to individuals and educational institutions using numerous scoring methods and through a variety of reporting formats.
Selecting the best scoring method format
We can help you select scoring methods that are efficient, cost-effective and appropriate to both the test item and the purpose of the assessment.
- Machine scoring: We score millions of multiple-choice tests each year in paper-delivered and computer-delivered formats. We can help you with security concerns regarding transportation of forms. Our high-speed scanning process provides you with fast and accurate results.
- Human scorers: We support distributed scoring for your teachers to score constructed-response and performance tasks remotely. You can elect to use trained ETS scorers for some high-stakes assessments.
- Automated scoring: Our holistic writing scoring processes can accurately evaluate written student responses and provide qualitative feedback and quantitative scores for students and teachers.
