Patent number: 10755589Abstract: A computerized system for scoring constructed responses to one or more prompts. The system receives a plurality of constructed responses in an electronic font-based format and separates the plurality of constructed responses into a first group of constructed responses that are scorable by the system and a second group of constructed responses that are not scorable by the system. The constructed responses in the first group are assigned scores based on predetermined rules, and the scores are sent to a score database. In a preferred embodiment, the first group includes constructed responses that do not answer the prompt and constructed responses that match pre-scored responses. The second group of constructed responses are sent by the system to a hand-scorer for manual scoring.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2014Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: ACT, INC.Inventors: Susan M. Lottridge, Howard C. Mitzel, John A. Pennington
