What is the process the CAS uses to ensure that the grading process is fair and accurate?
Multiple-choice and true/false answers: Answers to multiple-choice and true/false questions are read by optical scanning equipment and scored by computer. This process is done twice and the output data are compared to ensure proper reading. Then a statistical analysis is prepared for each question; if this information indicates there might be a problem, the question is carefully examined. Any multiple-choice or true/false question found to be defective is carefully examined to determine the most reasonable way to correct the situation. In some cases, the question is discarded, leaving scores and rankings as they would have been if the defective question had not been asked. In other cases, more than one answer for a multiple-choice question is given credit for being correct. Essay Responses: Every effort is made to grade answers to essay questions according to completely objective standards. The anonymity of the candidates is fully preserved; committee members see only candidate numbers
