These exams are graded using a combined auto-grading and
test taker grading
process.
All computational and multiple choice questions are auto-graded by the system.
All essay questions are graded are self graded. Although these
questions were staff-graded in the past, this process has become too onerous
on our staff given the number of essay based questions that need to be
graded.
Candidates are now aware that essay-based questions represent a significant percentage of the questions appearing on the actual CAS exams.
Therefore, our exams contain essay based questions so that exam takers can
self asses how well their response matches our model solution for all essay
based questions.
