Review your qualifications. Data Recognition Corporation requires at least a four-year degree to be considered for a scoring position. Determine what grade level and academic area you want to score. Tests are administered to elementary through high school students in reading/writing, math, science and social studies.
Evaluate whether you live near the Pennsylvania Data Recognition Corporation scoring site in Pittsburgh or one of its satellite centers. Some standardized test companies support online test scoring, but DRC does not. DRC has centers in Austin, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Sharonville, Ohio; Plymouth, Minnesota; Woodbury, Minnesota; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
