Abstract

See full text

A scoring system and method include a distribution application for delivering an answer image to a qualified reader. The distributor prefetches a batch of answer images from long-term storage and caches them for retrieval and scoring. The scoring process includes displaying an answer based upon an answer image form along with a scoring protocol. Geometric tools are also available for assisting in scoring geometry tests. A routing system permits a reader to electronically pose a query to a supervisor and to continue working on another answer while the query is being addressed. A reader's effectiveness and efficiency can be monitored by distributing a calibration answer to the reader in transparent fashion and comparing the resulting score with a target score.
