ABSTRACT
The paper presents summarization of proposed scoring schemes of concept maps. The main attention is devoted not only to theoretical approaches considering assessment of students' concept maps, but also to scoring mechanisms implemented in the existent concept map based computerized assessment systems. Conclusions about application of examined scoring schemes are made and factors affecting students' score in computerized assessment systems are identified.
