On what basis do raters evaluate the comprehensive examinations?
The raters evaluate each of your written responses to the exam questions using a grading rubric (See Rubric below) to measure your ability not only to display acquired knowledge but also to apply and synthesize such knowledge across content areas. In addition, you are also evaluated on the cogency and development of the arguments you raise in your response. Objective of Raters: to determine whether an examinee’s response demonstrates sufficient qualities (e.g., more than 70%) to maintain competence in a certain band.
