I Can't Believe This Happened!

[yutzyj]

The My Access! tool is supposed to be a "smart" program that grades an essay immediately, recognizing patterns and requirements for the writing exams. The College Writing & English Comp. exams use a tool like My Access!

I just read the College Writing exam content guide and it says:
[INDENT]Unless your essays must be mailed to human raters for scoring, you will receive your grade upon exiting the testing center.[/INDENT]
I guess I just answered my own question. It appears a score is usually instantly given, unless there's something that the "smart" program can't conclusively grade.

the IntelliMetric program should score immediately. when practicing i had one essay it didn't grade. i asked my english savvy daughter to take a look and she said i was way off prompt. this was very helpful to me because i learned to keeping checking the prompt and what the prompt wanted for a response. this shouldn't have happened during my test. i was very careful to stay on prompt. somehow i got booted off the system.

i finally got through to excelsior this morning. it took until 9:15 to take their phones off their closed message. the message stated 8:30. i spoke to someone in the testing dept and she said they didn't have my test. i explained that prometric was contacted and they said ec had it. she is checking into it. so here i am, in hyperspace along with my test. maybe we will run into each other!hilarious
