Grading and Scoring Aptitude Tests Online

November through April, I stay busy grading aptitude tests. I grade these tests for two companies Educational Testing Systems (ETS) and Pearson. As an at home scorer, you are required to complete several hours of training before each scoring session. Training is paid. I personally earn $10-$20 per hour grading tests and it is one of my favorite ways to earn money from home. Their system measures your accuracy as you score tests. If your scoring accuracy drops below a certain level (usually 75%), you will be asked to retake the training. If your scores still are not accurate, you will not be allowed to score the project.

Working at Home for Pearson

Pearson hires people to score aptitude tests at home. These are tests taken by school children in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Pearson hires at home workers to score a variety of subjects. To be hired by Pearson you must apply through their website. After you have applied and been accepted, you will have to complete employee (not independent contractor) paperwork. As an employee, you are notified by email whenever a project is available. I receive notifications from Pearson approximately 4 times per year. Each project lasts a few days to several weeks. When Pearson has work available, they ask that you work 20 hours a week. You do not have to schedule your hours, you simply log into the online scoring application and work. As you can see this is far from full-time work, but it does pay well. You can earn anywhere from 10.00 to 20.00 per hour scoring for Pearson, depending on your speed. All training is paid training.
