Question 5

What is the scoring protocol?

Answer 5

An object is judged as marked only if it clear that the child intended to mark it.
If a mark extends through an adjacent object, do not judge the adjacent object as marked unless it was clear that it was the child’s intent.
If a child marks in the white area near an object, the closest object should be judged as marked.
If the closest object cannot be determined, no object should be judged as marked.
