Online Test Scoring Jobs
1 – Scoring Student Essays for WriteScore
You may have already heard of this one, as it is one of the most popular companies we have listed. Although the company has a website for potential clients to sign up, it has recently been directing potential workers to a waiting list.
As an independent contractor, they pay you to grade essays written by elementary, middle, and high school students. Salary varies depending on how quickly you move up in your workload.
A major downside is that you don’t get paid for your training time and it is intense.
The only IT/education requirements are a validated email account, a 2-year degree, and a high-speed internet connection on your PC or laptop.

2 – Scoring test results for ETS
ETS hires part-time employees to obtain test scores from various online and offline educational institutions, including SAT scores.
Each grading opportunity has its own requirements and you must commit to a specific timeline.
Pay is twice a week and varies depending on the project, but it depends on how many hours you can get. Even though you have to commit to a timeline, you have a little more freedom to decide when it will take place.
Some grading tasks require a minimum of 4 hours. Training can last up to two weeks before you earn your final certification, and you can start working immediately after training if there are projects available.
The training would be difficult and many potential graders have to retake the final tests, so you might really want to slow down during the tests.
ETS gives you two attempts and you get paid for both attempts. You do NOT need to live in the United States to apply.
