						<p>WIAT-4 scoring rules do NOT require correct letter order to receive credit, but order may provide context clues when a letter is ambiguous or could be a reversal.</p>

						<p>The WIAT-4 Scoring manual states, &quot;Order of letters should be used when determining whether or not a letter receives credit, including alphabetical order or spelling of words.&quot; This guidance is part of the section on using context clues to score the task, but does NOT mean that the letters must be in alphabetical order to receive credit. Letter order is a strategy that should be used to help determine which letter a student wrote, if needed. If the student did not use alphabetical order, then letters would still receive credit if they were legible.</p>

						<td>
						<p>The WIAT-4 scoring rules are based on the (unchanged) Grammar &amp; Mechanics score from the WIAT-III, which correlates strongly with overall writing quality and has high clinical sensitivity. The WIAT-III scores for Word Count and Content &amp; Organization are not included in the WIAT-4; instead, a Content and Organization Qualitative Analysis is provided to assess these areas.</p>

						<p>A patented technology based on over twenty years of research and development, IEA has been proven to score written essays as accurately as trained human scorers. IEA scores essays based on the traits included in the hand scoring rubric.</p>

						<p>How does the IEA score an essay?</p>
						</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>The IEA scoring engine assesses the grammar/syntax and the mechanics of the transcribed essay. When an examiner submits an essay for scoring, the IEA assesses features of the essay and compares the essay to a training set - a large database of training essays previously scored by human scorers. The IEA assigns a score based in part on the similarity of the essay to the training set.</p>

						<p>Can the IEA score highly unusual or very brief essays?</p>

						<td>
						<p>Examiners should not attempt to score essays that are written in a language other than English, incomprehensible essays (e.g., essays with a high number of severely misspelled words), or essays that are completely off topic (i.e., the examinee did not follow the instructions). Essays must have a minimum word count of 30 to be scored; however, at least 40 words is recommended.</p>
