A method was found that allows for high objectivity, ease, and speed in the evaluation of problem development, the assignment of realistic weighting, and high precision in calculations during the grading of the restricted essay test. The work was based on the use of a programmable calculator to aid in performing the calculations. The variation on the normal grading system is to establish, along with the expected answer key, the number of correct answers corresponding to each question (this transforms the written answer into simple numbers), which can then be processed on a programmable calculator. The grade a student receives is simply the sum of the products of correct answers and the grading factor for each question, with the following columns: question number, percentage of correct, average, and incorrect answers, and their variance. After this, the reliability index value, standard error of measurement, exam balance, and then a statistical table appear containing: class interval, midpoint, frequency, cumulative frequency and then the values of the mean, median and mode, as well as quartile 1, quartile 3, number of cases and then a table that establishes the curve of already normalized frequencies and its chi-square test of frequency similarity. The internal information is obtained in a time of 5 minutes after having entered the number of correct answers achieved by the students in the calculator.
