How much can I make as an Essay Scorer? - Pay for this position ranges between $12 and $20 an hour based on the company and your productivity.

Listing of companies that hire Essay Scorers.

1. Pearson Flexible Scoring* I actually worked as a Scoring supervisor for Pearson years ago (worked onsite not online) for to make some extra money for a spring break trip so I can attest to the validity of the position.

2. Educational Testing Service - There are a multitude of scoring opportunities listed on their site, but only a few are hiring at this time. I am currently working with the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) program, which pays $10/hr.
