HOW TO RATE  THE CANDIDATES

Here’s a template scoring sheet that uses six questions and a 1-5 scoring system. Rather than relying on intuition, it’s essential to define each number as having a specific meaning. In this case, consider:

 

    1/5: The answer missed the point of the question entirely or was otherwise wholly inadequate

    2/5: A poor or incomplete answer that nonetheless contained good points

    3/5: A basically adequate answer that hit the key points of the question, but which goes no further

    4/5: A strong answer that goes beyond the basic requirements of the question

    5/5: An excellent answer that is exactly what you’re looking for
