***
In order to understand how you get your score, you need to examine two documents: the overall explanation (blue paper) and the Writing Assessment Analytic Scoring Rubric that raters use to score the test (the one with your scoring for the first CAT). You will have 15 minutes to look these over carefully, taking notes. Then we will open the floor for questions and comments that clarify the way the test is scored.
IMPORTANT: This is not to be a discussion of your particular response to the test. You need to take the test home, check the feedback carefully and have specific questions for me on Wednesday, when we work on revising the CAT.
