Teacher Instructions for Scoring Student Assignments
Scoring Free Response Items
For assignments with only assisted response items, students can score their own assignments using
AccelScan. AccelTest will record the grades in the Gradebook. See “Student Instructions for Using
AccelScan” on page 19. The teacher can use also AccelScan to score student scan cards.
If assignments contain one or more free response items, only the assisted response items are scored
and recorded. The Gradebook assumes that all students earn all of the points on free response items.
Free response items have to be graded by the teacher. To assist the teacher, AccelTest includes a
report called the Free Response Grading Worksheet. The worksheet provides a place for teachers to
record reduced point scores for free response items. The teacher must then update the Gradebook.
The Free Response Grading Worksheet should be printed after the students scan cards have been
scored. This shows the points earned for the assisted response items that were scanned, and aids the
teacher in grading the free response items.
Follow these instructions to score and record assignments with assisted response items and free
response items.
