Each human reader will assign a single score from 0 to 6 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) that will be based on the overall quality of a candidate's writing. The same specific ETS scoring criteria is employed by all readers. E-Rater also scores an essay on a 0-6 scale.
The following are the four steps of determining the AWA scores:
For each of your two essays, E-Rater's score is averaged together with the human reader's score.
For each essay, if E-Rater's score is within 1 point of the human reader's score, then the average of those two scores is your final score for that essay.
For each essay, if E-Rater's score differs from the human reader's score by more than 1 point, then a second human reader will read and grade the essay, and your final score for that essay will be the average of the two human readers' scores.
The final AWA score is the average of the final score for each of the two essays, rounded up to the nearest half-point.
