Purpose

What scoring delivers

Our scoring model blends calibrated human judgment with analytic checks to ensure stable, comparable results across cohorts and time. Each decision is anchored to CEFR descriptors so institutions can interpret outcomes at a glance.

  • Evidence‑based — judgments tied to observable features in responses.
  • Portable — CEFR mapping makes results easy to use across contexts.
Scope

Where it’s used

  • Admissions and placement
  • Hiring and promotion
  • Licensing and compliance
  • Personal and global mobility

How scoring works

  • Collection & preprocessing Responses are captured securely; audio is normalised and text is prepared for rater review.
  • Primary scoring Trained evaluators apply calibrated rubrics to Writing and Speaking; Reading/Listening are keyed and quality‑checked.
  • Analytic checks Models flag anomalies (e.g., duplication, ultra‑fast submissions) for secondary inspection.
  • Second marking (as needed) Borderline or flagged cases receive senior review or double‑blind resolution.
  • Aggregation & CEFR mapping Evidence across tasks converges to an overall CEFR outcome (A1–C2).
  • Release & verification Results issued within 14 calendar days with a shareable certificate and verification ID.
Principles

Scoring principles

Fairness

Bias controls, anonymised scripts, and accessibility accommodations protect candidate equity.

Rubric fidelity

Rater training, standardisation sets, and drift monitoring maintain rubric alignment.

Reliability

Anchor items, inter‑rater checks, and statistical surveillance keep results stable over time.

Assurance

Consistency & quality control

  • Standardisation — periodic calibration using gold‑set responses and consensus scoring.
  • Monitoring — live rater drift checks, agreement thresholds, and automatic sampling.
  • Escalation — second marking for borderline or flagged cases; senior adjudication where needed.
  • Transparency — clear reporting, certificate details, and verification pathways for institutions.
