In testing accommodations, who is typically allowed to monitor a student's answer sheet and assign partial credit as designated by rubrics?

• A. An adult monitor the answer sheet
• B. The student
• C. A peer
• D. A computer

Answer: (A)

In testing accommodations, who scores with rubric-based partial credit and oversees the process is a trained adult test administrator. This person is responsible for supervising the student’s answer sheet, ensuring the accommodations are applied correctly, and applying the rubric consistently to award partial credit. The student isn’t in a position to determine scores, and a peer isn’t designated to monitor or score in official settings. While computers can handle many scoring tasks, rubric-based partial credit often requires human judgment to ensure fairness and adherence to the rules. That’s why an adult monitor is the typical choice.
