Grammar

in order to be scored correct/correctly

I have just seen this sentence in the book "Cambridge Practice Tests for IELTS 1" by Vanessa Jakeman and Clare McDowell.

There is a comprehensive key for the Reading and Listening sections,
but if you are in any doubt about your answers, talk to a teacher or an English speaking friend. Where you are required to answer in your own words, the answer must be accurate in both meaning as well as grammar in order to be scored correct.

Why it is "correct" not "correctly" here? Thanks.

Scored correctly means that the person marking the answers marked the incorrect answers "wrong" and the correct answers "right."
