Abstract

A system for managing resolvers of test answers to maintain consistent and efficient scoring of test answers. Collaborative scoring allows two test resolvers to score the same test answer and resolves potential discrepancies in the scores provided by the resolvers. Quality items monitor a test resolver's scoring performance against a known standard. The system transmits a quality-control test item, having a known score, to a test resolver. After receiving a score from the resolver, the system compares the known score with the resolver's score and can generate a quality profile for the resolver.
