The OSCAR Scoring page contains the Sections and Items distributed to you for scoring.  This is an example of a single Section containing three items available for scoring.

• Section - organize the questions for scoring like 'ELA Grade 5'.
• Item  - a response to a question from an assessment that needs scoring.

Item

Each Item displays the name of the Item, the # of 'Scores Submitted' and the amount of 'Time Spent Scoring'. Hover over the count and time for a description of the data.

Scoring

The scoring area displays both a Practiceand Score icon. 

Practice

• If you haven't completed Practice (when available) for an item, then clicking on  takes you into a simulated scoring experience so you can practice scoring while getting feedback on your scores.
• If you have already completed Practice, then clicking on takes you to the results so you can review the practice scoring at any time.

 Item Response

Item Response is the uploaded response of the student.  This is the scorable content.  Scroll up and down through the uploaded response to ensure you see all the content.  The item may have other controls to help you view the work.  These controls will disappear unless you are actively using them.

Common controls allow zoom control +/_, rotate and inverse.  You find these controls in the top left of the response section by moving your cursor into that area.

 Item Resources

Resources are provided to the student that helps explain the questions and resources can be provided to aid the scorer in their task, there can be multiple Item Resources loaded.  After expanding Item Resources, the first of the resources is available...scroll down in the section to view all the pages.

 Exemplar Set

Multiple exemplar sets may be provided as a resource for you.  The exemplar provides an 'example' of what a response and score looks like when scored based on it's true score.  Use the exemplars to help set a solid baseline for your scores.

 Personal Notes

Add personal notes that will be available to you to reference at anytime during scoring for the assessment. 

 Scoring Controls

By default this section is expanded with the Item Response when you start scoring.  There is some optional setup for what is available for each item while scoring.

Rubric Scoring

Use the provided scoring model to score the response in the areas provided.  Be sure to use the resources as well as the scoring exemplars built into the score model.  Score each of the areas defined in the rubric.
