Angela Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Anyone else find that depending on who reads and supposedly grades your practice WS their grades can vary quite a bit? THis is in addition to the variation between prompts.
thatonekid Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah, but you have to remember that the practice essays are graded by course instructors, whereas the actual essays are graded by professionals who have read numerous essays and know exactly what essay deserves what thye of score. Also, they have a system in place where your 2 essays are graded by different people and there can't be more that 1 point (I believe)difference between the scores of the two essays. I wouldn't worry too much about score variation.

I am sure if a marker on average was harder/easier he or she would be dealt with in short order
