This study exploits statistical redundancy inherent in natural language to automatically predict scores for essays. We use a hybrid feature identification method, including syntactic structure analysis, rhetorical structure analysis, and topical analysis, to score essay responses from test-takers of the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) and the Test of Written English (TWE). For each essay question, a stepwise linear regression analysis is run on a training set (sample of human scored essay responses) to extract a weighted set of predictive features for each test question. Score prediction for cross-validation sets is calculated from the set of predictive features. Exact or adjacent agreement between the Electronic Essay Rater (e-rater) score predictions and human rater scores ranged from 87% to 94% across the 15 test questions.
