Hey Chix, if it's like high school, than a 7 is 70% and that's not a B. I think a 6 would be a D. A 5 would be an F, but some companies will still allow you to shop with a 5 average, they just don't let you self-assign.
A good score is 8 or better. A shop that gets rejected probably gets a 1, because otherwise the editor may be able to fix it and the MSC can still use it--the editor just may have to contact the shopper for additional information and make a lot of grammar and spelling corrections to make it usable.

I will live with whatever they give me as long as I get paid. I do have an average of 10 with most MSCs that use this type of grading system (mostly Sassie platform) although there is one company that I have a 9 average rating with, and I have no idea why they consistently give 9s no matter how great of a job I think I did--even when I am positive that I had no grammar or spelling issues in my reports. I don't let it bother me, it's just odd.

I get 10s from both of those companies but Confero does not always give out a score on every report. I was thinking Intellishop. They don't like to give out too many 10s.

the only reference I've ever seen to ratings as far as qualifying for shops is some of them require at least an 8 average to be able to self-assign.

Tigger, if they don't score the report, it doesn't go into your average.
So Cal, you are right, it was Confero that gives a lot of 9s with no explanations, no matter how well you write. I had an English professor in college that would never give 100s on term papers and essays. He said that no one is perfect...

I've never seen a 0. I received a 1 once before and my shop was excluded because I visited a restaurant where I was supposed to sit at a table in the dining room and the hostess sat us at a table near the bar. I told her we wanted to sit in the dining room, but she said that they were on a 2 hour wait for the dining room, and my shop visit was to be conducted between 5-8 and it was already 6:30 (this location did not accept reservations). I went ahead and completed the shop by sitting at the table near the bar, since I am sure it would have seemed really odd to sit and wait for 2 hours for a table in the dining room when there was a table available in the bar area, plus that would have put us past the time the shop was supposed to be completed. I explained this to the editor, but they rejected my shop anyway.
