Abstract
Abstract An on-line scoring guide dynamically provides test resolvers with rules for scoring answers to particular test questions. The system stores rules which relate to procedures for scoring the test questions. When test questions and answers are displayed to a test resolver for scoring, the system displays the corresponding rules for scoring the displayed answer.
