My situation is somewhat strange. I receive a thorough check mark with a score of "2" on my open response; that doesn't make sense. How could the open responses be thorough but receive the lowest score. Does anyone have any suggestion?
For both exams, I received the SAME EXACT ESSAY and provided the same responses. The first test, I received full credit for the essay. The second time, I received only a 2. MTEL says they do not rescore computer based tests, however, I am hoping someone out there has experience in fighting the grading of a computer based test. Obviously, two different graders felt differently about my essay, and is a biased exam.
My job is on the line for this test. I am open to contacting a lawyer if Pierson refuses to review my test results.
