						<p>To use automated scoring, you will need internet access and a Q-global or Q-interactive account that includes WIAT-4. The following steps are followed to utilize automated scoring of Essay Composition:</p>

						<ul>
							<li><strong>Step 1:</strong> The examinee hand writes the essay in the Response Booklet;</li>
							<li><strong>Step 2:</strong> Within Q-global or Q-interactive, the examiner transcribes the essay by typing the essay exactly as it was written into the essay entry field;</li>
							<li><strong>Step 3:</strong> The essay is submitted and scored by Pearson&#39;s Intelligent Essay Assessor&trade; (IEA). Results are returned in seconds.</li>

						<td>
						<p>Typing is a skill that not all examinees have acquired. Under timed conditions, examinees who type well can write more and score higher than examinees who cannot type well. In addition, many students, especially in the early grades, hand write essays in school, so this method has ecological validity.</p>

						<p>The WIAT-4 scoring rules are based on the (unchanged) Grammar &amp; Mechanics score from the WIAT-III, which correlates strongly with overall writing quality and has high clinical sensitivity. The WIAT-III scores for Word Count and Content &amp; Organization are not included in the WIAT-4; instead, a Content and Organization Qualitative Analysis is provided to assess these areas.</p>

						<p>How does the IEA score an essay?</p>
						</td>

						<p>The IEA scoring engine assesses the grammar/syntax and the mechanics of the transcribed essay. When an examiner submits an essay for scoring, the IEA assesses features of the essay and compares the essay to a training set - a large database of training essays previously scored by human scorers. The IEA assigns a score based in part on the similarity of the essay to the training set.</p>

						<p>Examiners should not attempt to score essays that are written in a language other than English, incomprehensible essays (e.g., essays with a high number of severely misspelled words), or essays that are completely off topic (i.e., the examinee did not follow the instructions). Essays must have a minimum word count of 30 to be scored; however, at least 40 words is recommended.</p>
