Rules for Rating Letter Writing.
In rating the letter, its errors in form and address, in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, syntax and style, and its adherence to and treatment of the subject given, are considered, and its value, in the judgment of the examiners, determined on a scale of 100.
In determining the mark for letter writing it is proper for the examiner to be guided in a general way by the following scheme: Excellent, 95 to 90; good, 90 to 80; fair, 80 to 70; ordinary, 70 to 60; poor, 60 to 50; very poor, 50 to 25; practically worthless, 25 to 0.
