you. Five online test scoring jobs will be briefly reviewed below.
Online
Test Scoring Jobs
#1 –
Scoring Student Essays For WriteScore
You may
have already heard of this one as there is a WriteScore review on this blog. While the
company does have a website for potential clients to sign up, lately it is
directing potential workers to a waitlist.
As an
independent contractor, they pay you to score essays written by elementary,
middle school, and high school students. The pay varies depending on how
quickly you move through your workload.
From what
I have seen on CareerBuilder and on Indeed, most scorers average from $9 to $15
an hour. While there really aren't any scheduled hours, you are given deadlines
— some of which can be tight.
One major
downside is that you aren't paid for your training time, and it is intense.
The only
computer/education requirements are a validated email account, a 2-year degree,
and high-speed Internet on your PC or laptop.
Go here to apply for open jobs at WriteScore,
or add your name to their scoring waitlist.
#2 –
Scoring Test Results For ETS
There is
also an ETS review on this blog. This company
hires part-time employees to score test results for various online and offline
educational institutions — including SAT scores.
Each
scoring opportunity has its own requirements, and you must commit to a specific
schedule.
Pay is
twice weekly and ranges from $10 to $20 an hour, but this is dependent on how
many hours you're able to get. Even though you have to commit to a schedule,
you a little bit more freedom in deciding when that is.
Some
scoring tasks have a minimum requirement of 4 hours. Training may last up to
two weeks before you take your final certification, and you may start work
immediately upon completion of training if there are available projects.
The
training is reportedly difficult, and many potential scorers must retake the
final tests, so you might want to really slow down during testing.
ETS gives
you two tries, and you're paid for both attempts. You do NOT need to live in
the USA to apply.
#3 – Work
at Home Test Scoring Jobs With Pearson
There is
also a review of Pearson's work at home scoring jobs on
this blog. Pearson has been around for over 50 years, and they are recognized
by many well-known educational institutions as a leader in the scoring process
for tests at all levels.
With
Pearson, you are a part-time employee (health benefits included), and you must
work at least 20 hours a week.
Pay is via
direct deposit at around $10 an hour with the chance to earn more if you are
bi-lingual or willing to work past 7 p.m. You can also earn more if you're high
performer.
While the
computer requirements are relaxed, you must have at least a Bachelor's Degree
in any field and be a US citizen. Sorry, no hiring outside of the US.

#5 – ACT
Writing Test Scorer
ACT is
often looking for “readers” to score student writing tests.

citizenship, resident alien status, or be authorized to work in the U.S. ACT
also prefers current teaching experience and experience teaching high school
English to juniors and seniors.
