AB - The present study aimed to investigate rater characteristics on evaluating writingperformance. Seven raters (three in-service teachers and four pre-service teachers)assigned scores 31 writings of Korean high school students. The writings weregraded using a five-category analytic rating scale (Content, Organization, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Mechanics). The FACETS program revealed rater severity, reliability, and bias patterns among raters. Pre-service teachers, in general, scored leniently, while the most severe and lenient raters were all pre-service teachers. With respect to reliability, the result revealed that only pre-service teachers had rated the essays inconsistently. Also, they did not have high degrees of interrater reliability. In terms of bias, two pre-service teachers had a bias toward Mechanics and Vocabulary, while one in-service teacher toward only Mechanics. These results provide support for the notion that pre-service teachers need more rating exercises before they become in-service teachers.
