Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are provided for scoring a constructed response. The constructed response is processed according to a set of grammar rules to generate a data structure. The grammar rules specify a set of preferred responses for the item. The grammar rules utilize a plurality of variables that specify legitimate word patterns for the constructed response. It is determined whether the data structure indicates that the constructed response is included in the set of preferred responses, and if so, a maximum score is assigned to the constructed response. If the data structure indicates that the constructed response is not included in the set of preferred responses, a partial credit score for the constructed response is determined by assessing from the data structure which ones of the concepts represented by the variables are present in the constructed response. The partial credit score is assigned based on the presence of the concepts.
