Remote Test Scorer

andPosition: Test Scorer/Reader

Location: Indianapolis, IN 46268

Duration: 2 Months

Pay-Rate:$18/Hr. on W2

Hours: M-F 8.30 AM– 4.00 PM

The Test Scoring/Reader position involves the hand scoring of tests that are comprised of any type of constructed response where the child is required to write an essay, perform a math problem where they are required to show their work, or answer questions with a written statement. These types of answers require a “live” person to score them because they cannot be scored mechanically.

The tests are taken by the child online or on paper. If they are taken online, we log into the online system and score the test. If they are taken on paper, the paper tests are scanned into our system and the image of the child’s paper presents itself on a computer screen where you will read the test and score it according to the parameters on which you are trained.

The tests are scored according to criteria laid out by the State Department of Education for the assigned state. You will be trained on these criteria and how to score the tests appropriately. The first day or two of each project involves training on the methods the State has determined to score the tests by. At the completion of the training, you will be given a qualifying test to be sure that you have learned the information necessary to be able to score the tests accurately. You must pass this test to demonstrate that you understand how to score the tests accurately. This really involves being taught how to score the tests, then scoring some tests to show that you have absorbed the necessary tools to score tests for this project. It is important in this position that you are able to put aside any personal opinions and thoughts you may have regarding testing or the particular standards the State has chosen to score these tests by. We are hired to score the tests against these standards, not to disagree or dispute them. We must follow the guidelines closely to assure each child receives an accurate score.

Work Environment:

• The Test Scorers/Readers work in a classroom type of setting with a Scoring Director who conducts training and is in charge of the room. You will work on a team of 10-12 people with a Team Leader who supervises and assists you in day-to-day items.
• This is a very quiet, “library-like” environment—people are reading and scoring. You must be comfortable reading from a computer screen for your workday, sitting for several hours at a time, and working quietly.

Work Schedule:

Our mandatory core work schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. You receive a ½ hour unpaid lunch break and two 15-minute paid breaks—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It is important that you can work the entire schedule of core hours as we are not able to make exceptions to the schedule for commitments that would prevent you from working these hours each week. We offer a casual work environment and a pleasant atmosphere.
