Title: Test Scoring/Reader (Remote)

Location: 6901 Michigan Road Indianapolis, IN 46268

Duration: 8 weeks

Position overview:

Data Recognition Corporation is an educational testing company that designs, writes, scores and applies psychometric standards to standardized tests that are administered to children in school during grades K-12 to comply with the Common Core standards. These tests are mainly in the subject areas of reading, writing, math, social studies and science.

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 on-line or on paper. If they are taken on-line, we log into the on-line 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.

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.

BCforward is currently seeking Test Scorer in EST and CST zones.

Position Title: Test Evaluator (Remote EST/CST)

Location: Remote (Only EST & CST)

Note: Must have bachelor’s degree from accredited university and must have own equipment (Computer/laptop) with Good Internet Connectivity to WFH.

Pay Rate: $18.00/hr. on W2.

Note: Must successfully pass an initial assessment

Position Overview:

The Test Scoring/Reader position involves hand-scoring tests that contain constructed responses, such as essays, math problems requiring shown work, or written answers. These responses must be scored by a live person because they cannot be evaluated mechanically.

Tests may be completed online. For online tests, scorers log into the system to review and score responses.

Scoring is based on criteria established by each State Department of Education. You will be trained in these standards and scoring methods. The first one to two days of each project are dedicated to training. At the end of training, you must pass a qualifying test to demonstrate your ability to score accurately.

Test Scorers/Readers work in a classroom-style environment led by a Scoring Director who conducts training and overseas operations.

You must be able to work the full schedule each week, as exceptions cannot be made for other commitments. The company offers a casual work environment and pleasant atmosphere.
