What happens when raters give different scores for the same examinees written response to a question on the examination?
Because raters will have different academic backgrounds related to linguistics and TESOL, sometimes grades on one specific exam response will vary. Remember, though, that it is incumbent upon you as the examinee to address your arguments effectively to a broadly defined audience of language professionals in related fields of study. Also, remember that whether you pass or fail the exam is not necessarily based on your performance on one question but is based on the overall spread of pass/fail scores on all the questions. Significant splits in the raters’ scores will be re-examined by the faculty as a whole before exam results are made official.
