Check this web site at [https://www.nysed.gov/state-assessment/high-school-regents-examinations](https://www.nysed.gov/state-assessment/high-school-regents-examinations) and select the link“Scoring Information” for any recently posted information regarding this examination. This site should be checked before the rating process for this examination begins and several times throughout the Regents Examination period.  \nThe following procedures are to be used for rating papers in the Regents Examination in English Language Arts. More detailed directions for the organization of the rating process and procedures for rating the examination are included in the Information Booklet for Scoring the Regents Examination in English Language Arts.  \nThe University of the State of New York • THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT • Albany, New York 12234  \nENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS  \nMechanics of Rating  \nScoring the Multiple-Choice Questions  \nFor this exam all schools must use uniform scannable answer sheets provided by the regional scanning center or large-city scanning center. If the student’s responses for the multiple-choice questions are being hand scored prior to being scanned, the scorer must be careful not to make any marks on the answer sheet except to record the scores in the designated score boxes. Marks elsewhere on the answer sheet will interfere with the accuracy of the scanning.  \nBefore scannable answer sheets are machine scored, several samples must be both machine and manually scored to ensure the accuracy of the machine-scoring process. All discrepancies must be resolved before student answer sheets are machine scored. When machine scoring is completed, a sample of the scored answer sheets must be scored manually to verify the accuracy of the machine-scoring process.  \nRegents Exam in ELA Rating Guide—Aug.‘23 [2]  \nENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS  \nRating of Essay and Response Questions  \n(1) In training raters to score student essays and responses for each part of the examination, follow the procedures outlined below:  \nIntroduction to the Tasks  \n• Raters read the task and summarize it.  \n• Raters read the passages or passage and plan a response to the task.  \n• Raters share response plans and summarize expectations for student responses.  \nIntroduction to the Rubric and Anchor Papers  \n• Trainer reviews rubric with reference to the task.  \n• Trainer reviews procedures for assigning holistic scores (i.e., by matching evidence from the response to the language of the rubric and by weighing all qualities equally) .  \n• Trainer leads review of each anchor paper and commentary. (Note: anchor papers are ordered in pairs of high and low within each score level.)  \nPractice Scoring Individually  \n• Raters score a set of five practice papers individually. Raters should score the five papers independently without looking at the scores provided after the five papers.  \n• Trainer records scores and leads discussion until raters feel comfortable enough to move on to actual scoring. (Practice papers for Parts 2 and 3 contain scores and commentaries.)  \n(2) When actual rating begins, each rater should record his or her individual rating for a student’s essay and response on the rating sheets provided in the Information Booklet, not directly on the student’s essay or response or answer sheet. Do not correct the student’s work by making insertions or changes of any kind.  \n(3) Both the 6-credit essay and the 4-credit response must be rated by at least two raters; a third rater will be necessary to resolve scores that differ by more than one point. Teachers may not score their own students’ answer papers.
