IPMA-HR’s Assessment Services Department recently piloted a new electronic scoring service in December 2019. The goal of the pilot was determine whether the new service would be implemented permanently and replace the old one. The results of the pilot were overwhelmingly positive, with test security agreement signers applauding the following features:
- Eliminates Shipping Costs. The new electronic scoring service eliminates shipping costs associated with mailing the answer sheets – you can now upload them electronically!
- Results in 1 Business Day. Now that you do not have to mail answer sheets, you can enjoy a significantly shorter turnaround time to getting your results. Results are delivered within one business day of receiving the answer sheets.
- Easy-to-Read Reports. The new electronic scoring service provides easy-to-interpret score and test reports, and assist with IPMA-HR’s collection of national test response data.
Utilizing the new electronic scoring service also makes it easier for your agency to participate in future criterion-related validation studies conducted by the testing experts at IPMA-HR.
Although we gave the electronic scoring service a major upgrade, we managed to keep the price the same at $50.00 + $0.50 per answer sheet. Be sure to as your assessment services representative about adding electronic scoring to your next test order!
