FCAT Progress Monitoring Assessments

  FCAT 6 Point Rubric Accuracy
Formative Assessment Programs
 Florida Sunshine State Standards
The federal government's National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has published acceptable rates of accuracy which should be expected when scoring with a 6 level rubric.

NAEP 1996 Trends in Writing: Fluency and Writing Conventions - Page 38

In this document the NAEP states:

  • "Exact agreement rates in the 50s are typical for holistic scorings using six-level rubrics."
  • "The criterion for an acceptable level of adjacent agreement for six-level holistic scoring is usually 80 percent."
  • "Interrater correlations of .80 or above are usually accepted as indicating a sufficient degree of reliability for six-level holistic scorings."

At Write Score, we have extensive scorer checking and evaluation procedures in place to monitor the accuracy of our scorers.

Following are the results of our November 2009 Scorer Calibration including all of our scorers combined:

Write Score Scorer Accuracy

Our percentages of 76% exact and 96% adjacent are well above the standards the federal government considers acceptable for human scorers.

Occasionally, that 3.531% of scores that fall beyond an adjacent score point shows up in an individual student's scores. Realizing that there is no such thing as absolute perfection in scoring, we are always happy to re-evaluate individual papers that are brought to our attention.
