Abstract
A method and system for managing resolvers of test answers to maintain consistent and efficient scoring of test answers. The method and system routes test answers to resolvers based on classifications of resolvers and persons who generated the rest answers. Monitoring and selecting resolvers based on classifications promotes fair and consistent scoring of test answers.
