How does a person become a grader for the ATA accreditation program?
Graders are selected from among ATA members who are accredited in the language combination they will grade. Some are translators who performed especially well on the examination; others are recommended by current graders or expressed an interest to the program administrator at ATA Headquarters. As part of the selection process, potential graders are asked to grade a previously marked exam, which is then reviewed to determine that the grading conforms to the established grading guidelines.
